German TV finds bin Laden - but US media doesn't ask Why hasn't he been arrested?

We at DU kid about the planned arrest of bin Laden on Nov 1, 2004, so as to elect Bush. But in what appears to be a confirmation of the Guardian story of a few years back
http://www.guardian.co.uk/alqaida/story/0,12469,1028044,00.html that Musharraf struck a deal with Bush not to seize bin Laden "for fear of inciting trouble" in Pakistan, and that bin Laden is "being protected by a three elaborate security rings which stretch 120 miles in diameter" - We now have German Documentary TV (the very solid Phoenix network) this week airing a story of going up to bin Laden's door and asking "Why does Bush not arrest Bin Laden?"

Hell of a question - where is our media?


German TV: Documentary Claims Bin Laden Pakistan Hideout Found!

How the Al-Qaeda chief is hidden and protected.
Ever since the Americans bombed the caves of the Tora Bora mountains in southern Afghanistan, he has gone missing. All the secret services of the world cannot find OBL - #1 enemy of the USA since 9/11.

Really?

Franco-Algerian journalist Mohamed Sifaoui follows OBL's trail through mountains, steppes and cities. He risks his life several times and films the governors of the terror network with a hidden camera - right up to the top of the Pakistani bureaucracy.

Finally he finds the hideout of OBL, and the question arises:
Why does no one arrest the Al-Qaeda chief?

Film cobbles together unsourced rumors about "all the world's terrorists gathering" in Pakistan - a land of demonized closeups of bearded, sweaty men. Barely anyone expresses their suspicions about OBL's whereabouts on camera, but the voiceover is rich in suggestion. "Everyone says" Bin Laden is somewhere in the Waziristan region, that he fled there under Pakistani cover, and that he is now protected by the Pakistani authorities and "three rings" of forces.

A rehash of the official 9/11 story. The director discovers a "Qaeda video" on CD with footage of "hijacker confessions," remastered to include the actual 9/11 attack. (The pictures in the video don't quite match the official hijacker pictures.)

At the end, an actor is shown playing Bin Laden as though he were (one of) the real one(s), wandering around some hills. "The Americans agree" that he must be in that region, "Time will tell as the noose tightens..."

SORRY I GOT EXCITED!
