John Kerry said tonight that Bin Laden was surrounded
...at Tora Bora and he was allowed to escape because we did not use our forces to go after him but used Afghan war lords.
When General Tommy Franks was asked about this he basically stated that if Bin Laden was ever surrounded any where it was news to him. He said Tora Bora was one of many dots on a map of where Taliban/al Qaeda fighters were suspected to be. He said that there were reports of Bin Laden being at a number of these dots. He said the fact is that they never knew where Bin Laden was and that they don't know now...but he personally believes that he is no longer in Afghanistan.
