I would bet we have actionable intelligence at times. It gets stale in hours. But we can't use it. Busharraf can't use it. So who knows what we know. They're untouchable in there.
We may have to go in and kick the shit out of people to get the intelligence. That could be bad for PR and create instability. But it could also flush out the sons of bitches where they're vulnerable.
Either way they should be punished for hiding these scumbags.

Well - I don't disagree...I'm actually just trying to formulate an opinion...I guess I have to consider what the actual benefits of puting a bullet in between Osama's eyes are vs. the damage to our own credibility, the risk of harm to the troops and the possibility that innocent civilians will get hurt or treated unfairly.
I mean - it seems clear that there are terrorists holed up in that wild region in the east of the country, but what can they really do globally?
Osama has been shitting in a box in someone's living room for the past 6 years - either that or in a cave somewhere...I wonder how much of the legitimate threat that still exists comes from Osama-controlled al Quaida?
