Sorry for the repost Max, but I am curious if anyone knows anything.
“Bin Laden ‘surrounded’
February 22, 2004
A BRITISH Sunday newspaper is claiming Osama bin Laden has been found and is surrounded by US special forces in an area of land bordering north-west Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“US helicopters already sited on the Afghanistan border will swoop in to extricate him,” the newspaper says. It claims bin Laden and his men “sleep in caves or out in the open. The area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 10,000ft-high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport.”
The special forces are “absolutely confident” there is no escape for bin Laden, and are awaiting the order to go in and get him.
“The timing of that order will ultimately depend on President Bush,” the paper says. “Capturing bin Laden will certainly be a huge help for him as he gets ready for the election.”
The article says bin Laden’s movements are monitored by a National Security Agency satellite.
On Thursday last week, General Richard Myers, chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, said America had been engaged in “intense” efforts to capture bin Laden, who was believed to be hiding in the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan.”

Did I miss his capture? If not, what are we waiting for?
