From NPR News, Osama is on the run…
“The trail for bin Laden was allowed to get stone cold over seven years,” says CIA veteran Bruce Riedel.
The CIA is analyzing the tape closely for clues to figure out if it’s really him, where he might have recorded the message, if he sounds healthy and the big question: Where is he?
‘The Administration Smells Blood’
Riedel, a career intelligence officer, says the U.S. has not gotten close since bin Laden slipped away in the Tora Bora mountains back in December 2001.
Juan Zarate, the top counterterrorism official in President Bush’s White House, says, “The administration smells blood here. I think al-Qaida is on its heels.”
