Well, according to this geography professor, he has the terrorist-in-chief’s location narrowed down to three possible compounds in Pakistan.

Using patterns of how animal species spread, the world's most wanted terrorist can be tracked down to a town in the tribal region of North West Pakistan it is claimed.

By factoring in his need for security, electricity, high ceilings to accommodate his 6ft 4in frame and spare rooms for his bodyguards, the search can be further narrowed to three walled compounds.

According to a team led by Thomas Gillespie, at the University of California in Los Angeles, bin Laden's location is "one of the most important political questions of our time".

Now there are two points I’d like to make about this interesting bit of speculation:

1) Why wasn’t this material handed off to the government rather than the press?

2) Does anyone disagree with the notion that all three should be bombed to rubble?

Given the inclinations of the current administration, though, I can’t help but wonder if we’d send Predator drones or a special envoy to deal with bin Laden. After all, the current administration is giving its support to the imposition of sharia law in parts of Pakistan to pacify Islamists. Why not negotiate with the world’s most wanted terrorist while they are at it? On the other hand, Obama has adopted a lot of Bush Administration strategy for dealing with the Crusade Against Islamofascist Jihad, so maybe this information will be used to cut the head off the venomous serpent that is al-Qaeda.
