U.S. No Closer to finding Bin Laden than 5 years ago.

News that the once-relentless hunt for bin Laden is currently seen as "languishing" and "misguided," as the United States focuses more and more of its military resources and attention on Iraq.

"We're not any closer to him that we were several years ago," says Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit. "We're at the point that we're working hard and hoping we're going to get lucky."

Scheuer and other sources say the 9/11 mastermind is not holed up in Waziristan, the recent target of Pakistani troops and American missiles — but is likely hidden in the high mountains and craggy valleys that form the Nuristan Province along the desolate northern border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"The tribes that live there — part of the tribal code is to protect guests with their lives," says Scheuer. "They will do that with Osama bin Laden."
