Bin Laden captured?
Iranian radio reports that Bin Laden has been captured and the US is just sitting on the news, until it becomes politically advantageous to reveal the good news (before the november presidential election). The Pentagon denies it, of course. Although word is that we're hot on his tail and all that.
Ordinarily I chalk these nutty conspiracy theories up to -well, conspiracy nuts. But one thing to keep in mind is that these are the Iranians. Iranians have some experience with this kind of political showmanship regarding terrorism. Remember when Reagan had the terrorists release the hostages as he was being inagurated? Not making any predictions or anything, just pointing out that if a similar conspiracy theory had been advanced in January of 1981, it would probably have produced similar disbelief and official denials...
