Let Bin Laden Stay Free, Says Ex-executive director.of C.I.A

[AGENDA21]

Sunday 09 January 2005

The world may be better off if Osama Bin Laden remains at large, according to the Central Intelligence Agency's recently departed executive director.

If the world's most wanted terrorist is captured or killed, a power struggle among his Al-Qaeda subordinates may trigger a wave of terror attacks, said AB "Buzzy" Krongard, who stepped down six weeks ago as the CIA's third most senior executive.

"You can make the argument that we're better off with him (at large)," Krongard said. "Because if something happens to Bin Laden, you might find a lot of people vying for his position and demonstrating how macho they are by unleashing a stream of terror."

1. oh, surely you don't credit this admin

with a reasoned strategy with respect to OBL. They've certainly shown no regard to the consequences of their actions in any other respect...:mad:

2. I think this is an Rove excuse they are

sitting up for the next terrorist attack. If we killed bin Laden there would have been more attacks from different group....

IMHO Spin...

3. Gee, like a martyr complex? Who couldn't think of that?

Just by wanting him, dead or alive, would have caused this.

4 years too late.

Not that these situations HAVE positive outcomes, mind you...

4. It would serve the military state

war is peace

5. Incredible.

If a Democratic Senator or Representative would have divulged or hinted at this they would be sitting in jail.
