Radio France confirms Laden / CIA meeting]

[Thomas Seay]

I hope that Carrol intends to answer Hakki's questions
because I have the same questions.  IF, IF IF the CIA
did meet
with Ben Laden then I do think that is, at the very
minimum, CURIOUS.  I mean, it would lead one to think
that either the CIA and Ben Laden were at that time
collaborating on some level, or that this guy Larry
Mitchell was "on the take". (and if so, why the
coincidence of the CIA calling him back on July 15th,
the day after Bin Laden's departure from the
hospital?)

If this story is not true, then it means that Le
Figaro, and by extension the French government, is
trying to put some kind of pressure on the US and
would hint at french (and possibly) european
dissertion of the coalition.

The first possibility would be dramatic, and the
second, perhaps less dramatic, but still significant.

Maybe I have misunderstood Carrol though...so I hope
that he will explain further.
