StormWarning’s Counterterrorism

Why is bin Laden’s (former) Bodyguard Allowed to be Free?

This simply doesn’t make sense to me. I know, because I’ve read it, that some people, largely among the extreme right, do not consider the death or capture of Osama to be important…I think that at worst, his capture, or better, his head on a stick, is an important symbolic milestone. But why is his bodyguard until 2000 allowed roam free? Or be interviewed on CBS 60 Minutes?

Bin Laden will never be captured alive: bodyguard
Osama bin Laden has no intention of being taken alive. He has designated a "special gun" to be shot with in the event of imminent capture, according to one of the Al-Qaeda chief�s former bodyguards…[more]

Dire Prediction From Osama’s Bodyguard
A former personal bodyguard of Osama bin Laden says he is certain the al Qaeda leader is planning an attack on the United States.

In the first television interview since 9/11 with an al Qaeda member close to bin Laden, Abu Jandal tells 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon first-hand details about the world’s most wanted man this Sunday, April 2, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. ..[more]

This "ash-ole" is being interviewed on 60 Minutes (click on the sidebar video). He knows nothing about bin Laden’s whereabouts? Something is very wrong with this.

According to this guy, bin Laden is in Afghanistan…not Pakistan…but as previously noted, who can really tell the difference when it comes to the Durand Line?

This is another one that I simply don’t get. Maybe I’m dense.
