Weldon: Bin Laden Dead

Pennsylvania Congressman Curt Weldon is claiming that Osama bin Laden died in Iran.

Rep. Curt Weldon, who broke the Able Danger story last year revealing that military intelligence had identified lead hijacker Mohamed Atta as a terrorist threat before the 9/11 attacks, now says that Osama bin Laden has died.

Weldon made the stunning claim during an interview Wednesday with the Philadelphia Inquirer, which reported: "Weldon is making explosive new allegations. He says a high-level source has told him that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden has died in Iran, where he has been in hiding."

Weldon cited as his source an Iranian exile code-named Ali, telling the paper: "Ali's told me that Osama bin Laden is dead. He died in Iran."

More on this story as it develops. If this turns out to be true, please send your condolences to the DNC Headquarters.

The mainstream media's silence is further proof of their liberal bias!

No one said anything of that sort...Daft one, since you seem INCAPABLE of moving on, and since I do not wish to see you become yet another broken record I will address your sillyness.

"MJ - What is the point of an openly biased information source calling another source biased? Nothing!"

No, not nothing. One openly biased source calling another secretly biased source biased. The point of this is simple, the openly biased source (PME) is letting it's readers (who verywell know they're reading conservative opinion, who in fact SEEK conservative opinion) know that ABC or whatever is not unbiased as it claims to be. The purpose of this is that people who come here to seek conservative opinion do not go to ABC to seek unbiased neutral news (as they so advertise themselves) and unwittingly recieve liberal bias in it's stead.

Did you get all that? Let me know if there's any lingering confusion.

"Pennsylvania Congressman Curt Weldon is claiming that Osama bin Laden died in Iran."

I applaud what Weldon has been doing with Able Danger. I beleive that falls into the category of 'whistle blower' and he's telling us things we do indeed need to know by exposing a cover up, and I support his actions in regards to that.

But now, I fear he may have crossed the line into 'leaker'. If Osama is dead, the news of that does not actually make Americans safer or more informed as to how to make themselves safer in terms of politics, like the revelations of Able Danger. Where does he come by this information and is it classified??

If this is classified information he's now leaking to the press about Bin Laden's death, he deserves some sort of censure or penalty or such. If all the terrorists do not yet know Bin Laden is dead, this is something we could be using to our advantage, and this news may compromise it..I guess we'll see.

Then again, it may just be rank speculation too, in which case it's all meaningless.
