| One of Binny's better halves sez he's still alive. She thinks. |

"He once told me that if he left Afghanistan, he'd leave to God," she was quoted as saying. "He had always wished to die there." Asked if Bin Laden were alive or dead, she said she "feels deep down that he's still alive and that the whole world would have known if he had been killed." She was quoted as saying Bin Laden had told her he would never leave Afghanistan except for temporary medical treatment for chronic kidney and stomach pains. Ummm... Actually that interview says nothing to buttress any belief that he's alive. If he was, presumably a go-between would reassure the Little Women that their pride, joy and breadwinner was still kicking. So if he hasn't contacted her, chances are he's pushing up daisies. On the other hand, if he had contacted her to tell her all was well, she'd hardly want to advertise the fact, would she? Someone might snatch her and hit her very many times, until she put them on the trail leading back to him. The episode turns out to be a logical null. |
