I don’t care what a book says, in my opinion, that was written to do damaged control for the Bush administration and to make profit form it misinformation.
I watched how the media, and government handled the situation when it all happened. After the Taliban caught OBL they went live on the air asking our government for proof they asked for any evidences, anything. There was nothing more from our media or our government about the situations after these few broadcast end of story.
Anyone can write a book.

Our natonal secruity rest on the fact that we fight at terroriest home land. The Islam extremmist want to kill us with all there power. They call us the big antichrist. There book insighs wars on us and all that is not Islam. At all cost we have to keep fighting the evil that disrupts the middle east. They kill the incent. Obama speach was well said and and brought a clear message to he american people and the midde east. On what we are doing, what we need to do. And he not letin us only work at the war on terror.
American I am prode to say today that Obama I am glade your our president. Your focus on our home - american and the protection of its people. Yes you need to look helping our home better, but of course that the hard part, Obama its so hard to find a job we need help. God bless american God whom we trust.
God bless american God whom we trust.
In regards to the comments about the Taliban not handing over OBL. I dont have the sources on hand but it has been reported that the Taliban was willing to hand over OBL if we had evidence to support our accusations, but we didnt have any. So, techincally speaking they did refuse to hand him over because we had no evidence.

The Taliban didn't refuse to hand Bin Laden over, the Bush administration refused to accept him.
Caspian Sea oil a prize the U.S. wants to control
By Tom Hundley, The Chicago Tribune, Thursday 25 November 1999
Last week, as President Clinton looked on, the leaders of Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan signed an agreement to build a new 1,080-mile pipeline that could carry a million barrels of oil a day from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean.
The Clinton administration, which in recent months exerted considerable pressure on all parties to get the deal done in time for the Istanbul summit, is hailing the pipeline as a major foreign policy triumph.
This is not just another oil and gas deal, and this is not just another pipeline, said Energy Secretary Bill Richardson. It is a strategic framework that advances America's national security interests. It is a strategic vision for the future of the Caspian region.
Translation: Caspian oil will not have to flow through Russia or Iran to get to the oil-hungry markets of the West.
U.S. Interest in Caspian Sea Oil to Bring More Trouble for Russia
Mr. Morningstar’s remarks virtually mean that the US administration views the Caspian Sea region as the zone of strategic interests of the West.
Why does the USA pay so much attention to such a remote territory as the Caspian Sea region?
Alexander Rar, a German scientist of politics, said that both the USA in particular and the West on the whole pinned great hopes on the region of the Caspian Sea. There are many other oil and gas deposits in the word, but the Caspian Sea has not been explored thoroughly yet. Furthermore, the extraction of oil and gas resources in the region is not cost-intensive at all.
