K2

Early Monday's front page at the on-line Corriere della Sera carried a fantastic story via al-Arabiya that according to US intelligence, Osama Bin Laden is in the area of Mount Godwin-Austen (K2) at the Pakistani border with China. The story went on to say that the US is planning a major assault. I think there's a better chance that he's in my Special K cereal box, but who am I to out-think intelligence?

Thinking about Osama, do we really believe that the Saudis would ever permit a prince to endure humiliation at the hands of United States troops? Of course we don't.

Update: I'm told al-Arabiya is a News-of-the-World type tabloid.

Expect a visit from a Stinger missile real soon.
