Inappropriate Content: Where's Osama?

The Jerusalem Post reports:

"We received it in Pakistan...Somebody dropped it yesterday at the gate," [Al-Jazeera's bureau chief in Pakistan, Ahmad Muaffaq] Zaidan told The Associated Press. "The guard brought it to me along with other mail. It was in an envelope, I opened it and it was a big scoop."

This seems to be evidence that bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan.

I don't think so. It's not very expensive to mail something from, say, Cleveland, to Pakistan; there, I'm sure any number of small children would drop it off in front of Al-Jazeera, asking only for a dollar in return. It's hardly inconceivable that bin Laden is hiding the in the United States. And if that is inconceivable, I'd say it's not only possible, but probable that he's in a slum in a city in southern Russia or Turkey or even Africa.

Look: we all know that 'military intelligence' is an oxymoron.

After the missing explosives story broke, Steven Colbert noted on The Daily Show, "the idea that Saddam would store explosives in a weapons depot--it just seemed insufficiently diabolical. Jon, they spent three months searching a dog food factory."

If the U.S. military were looking all over the middle east for me, I'd leave the middle east. This is one of those simple observations that large amounts of brass makes someone impervious too. He's in Cleveland, people.
