bin Laden's Whereabouts

Time reports that CIA director Porter Goss said, "I have an excellent idea where bin Laden is." He also said:

"In the chain that you need to successfully wrap up the war on terror, we have some weak links. And I find that until we strengthen all the links, we're probably not going to be able to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice. We are making very good progress on it."

He cited some of the difficulties as "dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, you're dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play."

Goss also told the Time reporter that the Iraqi insurgency is "not quite in its last throes, but close to it."

Reuters couldn't that stand so they quoted John McCain (natch) from Meet the Press, where he said:

"I don't think Americans believe that we should cut and run out of Iraq by any stretch of the imagination. But I think they also would like to be told, in reality, what's going on. I think part of that is it's going to be at least a couple more years."
