Osama Bin Forgotten

The Voice of America reminds us all that "Bin Laden [is] Still At Large 3 Years After US Attacks."

There has been no firm intelligence on his whereabouts since December 2001, when Osama bin Laden slipped away along with his Egyptian deputy Ayman al-Zawahri, during a U.S.-led assault on their mountain hideouts in Tora Bora, Afghanistan.

Also of note in the article:

During a trip to Islamabad last week, Mr. Black of the U.S. State Department told a private Pakistani television network that the United States and its allies have moved closer to capturing Osama bin Laden in the last two months. "I would be surprised, but not necessarily shocked, if we wake up tomorrow and he has been caught along with all his lieutenants," added Mr. Black. "Something like that can happen because of the programs and infrastructure in place."

Today, however, Pakistan announced that those remarks were nothing more than a "political statement," and pure speculation on Black's part. Who would have thought that from Pakistan? I guess they are taught to call 'em as they see 'em over there.
