The Hunt for bin Laden

The BBC has an article about the CIA's hunt for bin Laden immediately following 9/11. Have a look.

There's one thing that I feel the need to note.

According to NPR, there was no doubt at CIA headquarters that the 9/11 attacks were the work of Bin Laden.

When I was first told what was going on, the former friend who told me said that he was sure that Iraq had perpetrated the attacks. I told him that it was almost certainly not Iraq, and that it was likely Usama bin Laden who had done it; this was before most people knew the phrase "al Qaeda", though a handful knew who bin Laden was. This is merely to say that I've always been smart, particularly while I've been in college.
