CNBC is reporting that according to two Sr. US Intelligence officials the
current most likely suspect is indeed Osama Bin Laden.
If I were the Taliban, I'd be preparing to offer him up. I think the
reason they initially indicated that he had nothing to do with it is
because they are afraid, as they should be, of a swift reprisal. If they
can connect it to him, I would not want to be a resident of Afghanistan.
