Bring me the head of Osama bin Laden

"if bin Laden is arrested according to the current Pentagon plan, the whole operation will be kept secret - to be disclosed only a few weeks or days before the American presidential election in November."

<snip>

CIA vs Pentagon

It's no less than a coincidence, then, that a new Ayman al-Zawahiri tape surfaced on Arab networks only one day after these Pentagon leaks claimed that they had al-Qaeda surrounded, with the Americans just waiting for some "authorization" to capture them.

<snip>

The CIA is already covering its back - just in case. CIA supremo George Tenet was on a secret mission to Islamabad in early February - arguably to discuss the modalities of spinning concerning bin Laden's whereabouts. Tenet will do anything to help George W Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney as the president...

<snip>

According to the CIA chief, bin Laden has "gone deep underground". He was not specific, and unlike the Pentagon, he did not point to the exact global positioning satellite coordinates of bin Laden and his crew of 50. Rumsfeld clearly knows something Tenet does not.

<snip>

And what if bin Laden decides not to follow the script? According to sources close to the Pakistani newspaper Khabrain, bin Laden has made his seven bodyguards take an oath to kill him in the event that he is in any danger of being arrested. He will try to blow himself up. Western diplomatic sources, on the other hand, prefer to insist that if bin Laden is arrested according to the current Pentagon plan, the whole operation will be kept secret - to be disclosed only a few weeks or days before the American presidential election in November. <MORE> <http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/FB26Ag02.html>
