Despite all the Bush administration's rhetoric about "never forgetting" the attacks of 9/11, the CIA has given up efforts to catch the mastermind of those terrorist attacks:
The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants, intelligence officials confirmed Monday.
The unit, known as Alec Station, was disbanded late last year and its analysts reassigned within the C.I.A. Counterterrorist Center, the officials said.
The decision is a milestone for the agency, which formed the unit before Osama bin Laden became a household name and bolstered its ranks after the Sept. 11 attacks, when President Bush pledged to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice "dead or alive."
And this comes after bin Laden releases two new audio tapes which make it clear--if it wasn't already--that he has a role in the Iraqi insurgency. What are these people thinking?
CIA may have disbanded their bin Laden cell, but the Task Force is still hunting him.
The CIA isn't much help to the military. They give all their best intel to the NYT so the NYT can propare the ADB, the Al-Qaeda Daily Briefing.
Bunk!
