How many Fed were looking for Eric?The closest thing to a smoking gun that I'm aware of that Manning's revealed was published last July in Antiwar.com:
"The Guardian provides a helpful interactive map, in which you click on a location and read the 'incident report.'
'Of course, youre reading a selection of what the Guardian editors consider important, but it looks to me like their news judgment isnt bad at all, because the first one I clicked on was an intelligence report detailing meetings of the Taliban with Osama bin Laden in Quetta, Pakistan, and in villages on the border with Afghanistan.
"So, bin Laden is not only alive, but they know where he is.
"I guess when Hillary was hectoring the Pakistanis about the whereabouts of bin Laden, the subtext was: 'If we know, then you must know, too!'
Bradley Manning's Gift
Hardly enough to justify leaking ALL those cables for just that one point in my opinion. Also, knowing where Bin Laden is in this context doesn't really mean anything. Heck, Eric Rudolph's location was known to a few dozen square mile range and it took the feds years to find him.
Given the proper motivation, enough local support, and plenty of money *anyone* could hide.
Any Feds from the CIA? NSA? Pentagon?
Those who get rich from war can't afford to run out of credible enemies, and it's hard to think of anyone more credible than bin Laden.
