Doubt if it was Binny. Still, it's not a good time to be a tall, bearded man in Afghanistan. It would be an interesting footnote in DoD history if OBL got done in by a weapon system that didn't exist 4 months ago. Rumsfeld has been trying to torque the Pentagon into the transformation mode, and putting Maverick AGMs on Predator recon planes was verboten until after 11 Sept. Getting the recon systems reclassified as a weapons system was bureaucratic nightmare, and hopefully putting away OBL will be indicative of how the Pentagon might be starting to transform, albeit kicking and screaming all the way. |
