Former CIA Agent's Eight Years Hunting Bin Laden In Pakistani Badlands -- Times Online
Art Keller, a blond, blue-eyed CIA agent, sits inside a decrepit building deep inside al-Qaeda territory, staring at his computer screen. He is forbidden by his Pakistani minders from venturing out into the badlands of Waziristan to help to find and kill the world’s most wanted man.
He is sick and exhausted, and suffering from food poisoning. Back home in the US his father is dying of cancer. The plumbing is basic, the heat intense — the generator has failed again. He pores over cables looking for any scrap of information — an intercepted phone call, an aerial photograph — that might finally end the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

My Comment: The ISI is one of the most corrupt agencies in the world. No one is going to finger Bin Laden .... no one. The restriction on the CIA are there for a reason .... to protect them .... yes. But the restrictions are there to control them and to make sure that they do not succeed.
The only way to find Bin Laden is to send troops into the area .... but that is not going to happen.
Hence we have this silly cat and mouse game, with the cat always in its cage.
