Didn’t the Current Federal Administration Say that It Would Not Rest until Osama Bin Laden Was Caught? 2

From the New York Times (follow this link to Raw Story to see the full article).

The terrorist tracking unit, known inside the spy agency as “Alec station,” was disbanded late last year and its analysts reassigned to other offices within the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center, the officials said.

The decision is a milestone of sorts for the agency, which created the unit before Osama bin Laden became a household name (Note: This means the CIA knew he was important, even as the current Federal Administration ignored warnings about him before the World Trade Center attack–ed.) and bolstered its ranks after the Sept. 11 attacks, when President Bush pledged to bring bin Laden to justice “dead or alive.”

He ain’t caught, and the Administration’s actions speak louder than words, at least to those who haven’t stuffed their ears.

    So does this mean all efforts to find Bin Laden have been ceased?

    I don’t think so, but it sure looks to me as if they have been “de-emphasized.”

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
