The image of Osama bin Laden that flickered on Jack Shroder's TV was grainy and brief, but it was all he needed. Jack Shroder, a University of Nebraska at Omaha geologist who has done research in Afghanistan, says a videotape of Osama bin Laden gives important clues to where he might be hiding. "I turned to my wife," Shroder said, "and told her I know where he is." Shroder, a geologist at the University of Nebraska at Omaha who has done research in Afghanistan, said the videotape provides important clues on where bin Laden was when the tape was made. He said he has received a number of calls about the video and any help it can provide in finding bin Laden, the chief suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. Shroder said he could not say whether any of those calls have been from the federal government, saying he has been told not to discuss the inquiries in detail. He did say he is certain that the type of sedimentary rock visible in the videotape is found only in Paktia and Paktika, two provinces in southeastern Afghanistan about 125 miles from Kabul. Shroder also has examined photographs taken from the tape.

Let me help you out here.........The value of this information to this forum is to inform some readers of how much valuable information is available to our side and although this ID of the rock formation in the video tape would probably have little or no value to find "The Evil One" today, will have some value for where he may have been at the time this was filmed.
I feel a little like a Kindergarten teacher here ;-)

Wouldn't it be ironic if our folks could examine the backdrop behind Osama and determine his location based on the color and other features of the soil and rocks?

Say did anyone notice that BONG looking thing setting above them on the rocks? It's gotta be a clue to their frame of mind. LOL

"Shroder said he could not say whether any of those calls have been from the federal government, saying he has been told not to discuss the inquiries in detail."

I think your analogy of This guys lips are looser than Monicas. if not exactly correct.
I think Monica depended on tight lips
To: Oldsailor
So we have really pinpointed him now. We think that he may be (or has been) in some provinces in southern Afghanistan. I guess the war is over.

You just may need to review the BJ protocol that at some time may require a fairly firm lip.:-)

Why is this being made public?I think this is a "Gotcha" message to old bL...They wouldn't let him know they had this kind of expertise if they thought he was going to be around to send us another tape.

This article was just commented about by Ruta Cosby on Fox news tonight. Seems to have some news value and credence to boot.
To: SamAdams76
why does he think he found Bin Laden based on what the rocks Not all rocks are alike. The rocks seen in the video are found only in certain regions. Like the White Cliffs of Dover. Nothing else like it.
To: SP67
Wouldn't this be the type of intelligence we would not want to publicize? You're right, we wouldn't. But this article was in a major Oklahoma newspaper before it was at Free Republic.

This is important information which does not belong in the open. Pull, please.Then it's only a secret to this forum because it has already appeared in the American press.

This article is American propaganda ... thank goodness. It does not tell us where OBL is, because it is not a picture of where he is this day, let alone this instant. But it does tell us that Americans are pretty damn smart, and that we WILL figure out where he is.
To: RightWhale
I don't know how big a province is in Afghanistan but the article says that he is/was/has been/could have been in one of two provinces. I remember an extensive search for a guy named Eric Rudolf who was supposed to be in one of our "provinces".

From what has been said about Slick Willy's "package", no matter the lip tension, loose would be the verdict.
