Well, We Know Where Osama Is, But…

From CNN:
The magazine asked Goss when bin Laden would be captured.
“That is a question that goes far deeper than you know,” he said. “In the chain that you need to successfully wrap up the war on terror, we have some weak links. And I find that until we strengthen all the links, we’re probably not going to be able to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice.
“We are making very good progress on it. But when you go to the very difficult question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, you’re dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play.
Again, I understand what he’s saying, but everybody does realize that if they wait until, oh I don’t know, maybe election year, that people are going to be crying “CONSPIRACY!” from the rooftops. And you know what? They’ll be right. Because if we know where the guy is and we’re not putting a lot of resources into going after him and then ALERTING him that we know where he is, well…good grief.
My guess is we don’t have any clue where he is and we’re playing mind games with him. If so, good deal. If not, what are you thinking Porter?
