Bin Laden Was There

 The Newsweek article, points out that:

• American commanders knew that bin laden was at Tora Bora; and
  
• the Pentagon nevertheless refused to deploy a cordon of its forces to cut off the escape routes.

This inevitably leads to the conclusion that the whole 'war on terror', an integral part of which would have to have been the capture of bin Laden, is just a sham.
