#1 It just occurred to me, maintaining the myth of BL hiding in a small village between Pakistan and Afghanistan and only communicating by donkey mail is a good way for the AL-QAEDA management to hide the fact that BL is dead from their rank and file.

#2 How about it being a good way to hide the fact he is living in Urban Pakistan or Iran instead?

#3 OBL is more of an elusive creature than Elvis or Judge Crater. Some savvy IT guy is making all this up from his perch in Atherton. Probably laughing all the way to the bank betting on the price of oil!

#4 Messages from the men likely pass through the hands of many couriers, most of whom have no idea where they originated, before they are turned into e-mails or conveyed by phone calls to other militants.

Assuming that there's any truth to the notion that Binny's chest is still heaving, using numerous couriers only delays the day of reckoning, assuming that everyone involved in fighting terrorism is intent on defeating it. Each little uncovered link uncovers another one, which uncovers yet another one, and it goes from there.

#5 This article has no new news, it could have been (and was) written over a year ago. But Danâs point is certainly interesting and it does seem like we are being thrown a new tid-bit. This whole Iran thing seems like such a dÃ©jÃ vu of Iraq.

#6 his instructions are likely coming out of the craggy mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan on the back of a donkey or under the shawl of an unassuming-looking villager.

does the said donkey bring back medical supplies to feed his ailing health ? I think it's karmic justice that his life now depends on Western medicine delivered on the back of a donkey
Or perhaps one of his a$$hat friends have given him a new kidney after daisyclippers etc pounded tora bora ..
On a side note , the said donkey is hopefully getting danger money or at least danger straw :P
