Faster, Please! » What if the Killing of Bin Laden Is the Beginning of The Great American Retreat?: "ML: “So maybe it’s a three-cushion shot?”
JJA: “Maybe. We agree to pull back, maybe even out. Al-Qaeda — the anti-bin Laden part, anyway — makes the same deal (they relocate to Cairo or Luxor). And all the Paks want is a guarantee from us concerning the operation.”
ML: “Which is?”
JJA: “Which is that Osama is NOT going to be interrogated.”
ML: “Right, of course! Because they don’t want him to tell us about…”
JJA: “About THEM. And also about others, by the way. About Zawahiri, about the Saudi deals, about all the help AQ has gotten from Assad in Syria. It’s quite a long list. All of them want him dead. None of them wants him interrogated, and least of all on a witness stand, be it military or civilian.”
ML: “So that explains many things about the operation, doesn’t it?”"
