With al Qaeda leaders continuing to issue defiant statements and many of the major figures identified by Washington still at large, the Bush administration appears now to be laying blame for this on international law. In an interview with Time magazine, CIA Director Porter Goss said he has a “excellent” idea where Osama bin Laden is hiding. In his first interview since becoming head of the CIA last year, Goss said “dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, you’re dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play.” Goss added, “We have to find a way to work in a conventional world in unconventional ways that are acceptable to the international community.” Goss did not say where he believed bin Laden was hiding.
