I dont think its a big stretch Mike to say that they know almost exactly where he is. Probably within a hundred mile radius. Probably less. I have wondered for a while if they are not saving this one for election time as well.
There is a person in the middle of nowhere... people are coming to him regularly and leaving him regularly and they can only be doing it by hiking in the middle of nowhere which i would imagine can be seen/detected fairly easily by aerial surveillence/satellite. JUST LIKE THEY MAINTAIN TODAY they can today when the press started reporting they are turning up the heat.
The administration has claimed several times that they knew where he was or had been there immediately after he was there. They have given quite a bit of detail about people who have been in contact with him, and when and where and have shared info about people who have been acting as couriers by moving his hand written orders and messages around etc. There was one time in particular (can't remember which event it was connected to) where they gave out enough details of where he was and who had been in contact with him that it seemed incredibly strange to me that they knew all this but did not have enough information to surround him.
I am definately not a conspiracy theorist, but this one has always made me wonder.

If he is alive JR, I think you are very right. You can read all the news reports and it appears they have him sourrounded ( or think they do at least). But their idea of having him sourounded is a 300 mile area.
That is a HUGE amount of terain, that would take a HUGE army to make sure no one escaped.
I hope this time Bush has the balls to send US troops in and not rely upon Afgans or Pakistanis to handle it. Getting Bin Laden is worth taking casulties for.
There is a huge differene between this, and having the guy in a cell....
I don't beleive in most conspiracies because the nature of information - its hard to keep a secret with more then 1 person. If Bin Laden was caputured the information would get out - no matter what Bush or anyone else wanted.
