Since I am from the Northwest Frontier Province, I find it a little odd that Osama may be hiding in the only Shiite majority town in the entire tribal region of Pakistan.

The geography professors at UCLA may have used spatial analysis to determine the probable hideout of Osama; they certainly overlooked history and anthropology, which would have explained the gory sectarian rivalries between the Shiites of Parachinar and the Sunni supporters of Osama bin Laden. This is yet another example of technical analysis devoid of any understanding of the local socio-cultural and political contexts.

Of course, there's the "they'll never look for me here!" factor.

It’s getting mighty hard to keep a secret these days.

Yeah, between Google Earth and Dianne Feinstein it's no wonder Presidents want to do things on the down-low.

Remember how outraged we were that Sen. Feinstein had leaked classified information that the US was using bases inside of Pakistan to control our Predator strikes against al Qaeda targets? It looks like Google Earth outed the CIA base......

ps: what could I add? Pakistan and Afghanistan are f'd up? You done covered that.
