Maybe they know more than we do. Senator Kerry, the man who wouldn&#8217;t even attack Saddam after he invaded Kuwait, went so far as to vilify Bush for letting Usama &#8220;escape&#8221; in Tora Bora, although no one has any proof he did escape (or any real proof that Usama was really there, to my knowledge). Perhaps the Senator was relying on this report from the head of German intelligence, only made public today. But even that is equivocal. I remain skeptical that Usama is alive. A narcissist of that magnitude could not resist parading his phiz on television. (And, yes, I&#8217;m aware of the &#8220;he&#8217;s injured&#8221; argument, but it wouldn&#8217;t take Bernardo Bertolucci to deal with that possibility.)]]>Thu, 07 Oct 2004 10:25:28 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
