It would be OUTSTANDING if he could help find Osama. He reported long before Minator's book that Osama was in Iran last year.
I also know he has to be careful because of threats and there had been a rumor he was up for the CIA director... IMO might have been a better choice for a number of reasons, no the least of which is his connections and the people at the CIA wouldn't be able to BS him like they did Tenent.
"his connections and the people at the CIA wouldn't be able to BS him like they did Tenent."
Exactly.
He is very knowledgeable, the only problem is that most of what he knows he can't say. But seriously, he may well be on some assignment helping us. As you point out, he has a lot of connection in the region of interest.
