| Osama Bin Laden at death's door? |
| 2008-07-02 |
| Osama Bin Laden is said to be suffering from terminal kidney disease and may not have long to live, two unnamed Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officials told Time magazine. According to a report produced by the agency, Bin Laden has long-term kidney disease, and may have only months to live. The agency ostensibly managed to get the names of some of the medications Bin Laden is taking, and one US official familiar with the report, which came out between six and nine months ago, quoted it as saying, “Based on his current pharmaceutical intake (we) would expect that he has no more than 6-18 months to live and impending kidney failure.” The first person to claim that Bin Laden had kidney disease and was on dialysis was President Pervez Musharraf. Time, however, was sceptical, saying close watchers of the Al Qaeda terror network find such reports inherently unreliable. “It's trying to make a diagnosis from thousands of miles away with only fragments of the medical chart,” the magazine quoted Paul Pillar, former top analyst and deputy director of the CIA's counter-terrorism centre as saying. Frances Fragos Townsend, who was chief of the White House Homeland Security Council said, “I've read all the same conflicting reports that people have talked to you about. I never found one set of reporting more persuasive than another.” |

| #10 I have no problem if Mr. bin Laden has been suffering painfully since the 2002 invasion of Afghanistan, while watching his much-vaunted and terribly expensive personal terror organization roll over and show its belly to the hated Westerners, first in Iraq and now in Afghanistan... even as his personal popularity sank from 70% approval to 7% amongst his neighbors, because it turned out he wasn't the strong horse after all. |
