CIA disbands Bin laden unit — last year!
CIA disbanded its Bin Laden unit --
last year. Bush decided we didn't need to know that.
Nearly five years after George Bush vowed to bring Osama bin Laden to justice “dead or alive”, it’s the end of the line for the CIA’s Alec Station, the unit dedicated to the hunt for the al-Qaida leader.
The unit, named after the son of a counter-terror official, was disbanded last year, it emerged this week, and its agents reassigned in what intelligence officials described as a recognition of the changing nature of al-Qaida.
Pshaw. Isn’t it great how the Mission Accomplished crowd stays the course?
