   According to the Herald Trib, today he’s back to being a non-issue:

   “I think our best assessment is that he is still alive and that he is somewhere in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area,” said John Negroponte, who met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday during a visit to Afghanistan. “I would also make the point that wherever he is, he is hiding, he and his close associate Mr. Ayman al-Zawahiri (al-Qaida’s No. 2).

   “And that is a very different situation than the one that prevailed prior to Sept. 11, 2001, when he had completely free use and free reign of the country of Afghanistan, and that situation has been changed and that, needless to say, was a very, very important change for the better.”

4. Here is my question.. What is his problem with the US? Okay I heard him talk some shit about technological advances years ago, but why the US?
