CIA Rushing Resources to Bin Laden Hunt
March 05, 2007 3:47 PM
Brian Ross Reports:
Armed with fresh intelligence, the CIA is moving additional man power and equipment into Pakistan in the effort to find Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahri, U.S. officials tell ABC News.
"Reports that the trail has gone stone cold are not correct," said one U.S. official. "We are very much increasing our efforts there," the official said.
People familiar with the CIA operation say undercover officers with paramilitary training have been ordered into Pakistan and the area across the border with Afghanistan as part of the ramp-up.
Although never publicly acknowledged, Pakistan has permitted CIA teams to secretly operate inside Pakistan.
Pakistan officials say they are aware that CIA teams have increased their presence in northern Waziristan since last September when Pakistan withdrew its troops from the area under a much-criticized "peace deal" with tribal leaders.

It's Bin Laden that's stone cold.....dead
I wouldn't bet against you.
Though, that said, the paramilitary arm of the CIA, seems to be much more competent than the information gathering and analysis arm at Langley.
east side of the whale~back...50%-50%...
Thanks to ABC and some of the Bush haters in the CIA that for some reason are still on the job, the trail will now go cold.
Maybe a bit of disinfo to flush 'em out elsewhere ?
I still think OBL is pushing up poppies, but we'll see.
They found Bin Laden in rehab because of the name he called John Edwards.
He's dead, Jim.
OBL is dead and our intelligence knows it.
"Why does The President just sit back and do nothing about these 'officials' leaking strategic info to our enemies in the media and overseas?
I've been wondering that myself for months now.
I think legally he can put a stop to these leaks, so why doesn't he do it? I mean if he's timid about stopping them, he can always use his power as CiC and order them to be stopped.
Unless he knows OBL is dead.
Brian Ross of ABCNews--the guy that gave us the Mark Foley scandal after it was handed to him on a silver platter.
Wonder why he never bothered to ask the most obvious question--why did his sources hold onto the info for more than a year, thereby putting young pages at risk of as predator?
Another liberal slug "journalist" tool.
I heard on DU Valerie Plame was THIS close to catching that rascal Bin Laden, but then she was outed by Cheney.
Result of Cheney visit?
Mr Ross,
Could you do any more to tip off bin Laden?
Ahhh good old Brian Ross
I refuse to be teased about this again. I'll be back to an OBL thread when they catch the lanky bastard.
Hidden in place he can not be seen, on the move he is vunerable. Perhaps they are flushing him out, who knows nowadays if a Leak is real or deliberate....?
That is exactly what I was thinking...
