NEW YORK - The director of the CIA says he has an "excellent idea" where Osama bin Laden is hiding, but that the United States' respect for sovereign nations makes it more difficult to capture the al-Qaida chief.

In an interview with Time for the magazine's June 27 issue, Porter Goss was asked about the progress of the hunt for bin Laden.

"When you go to the question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, you're dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play," Goss said. "We have to find a way to work in a conventional world in unconventional ways."

Asked whether that meant he knew where bin Laden is, Goss responded: "I have an excellent idea where he is. What's the next question?"

Goss did not say where he thinks bin Laden is, nor did he specify what country or countries he was referring to when he spoke of foreign sanctuaries. But American officials have long said they believed bin Laden was hiding in rugged mountains along the Afghan-Pakistani border.

And by "excellent idea" I mean a general space that spans a part of a country...actually most of a country...actually a country...actually several countries...actually the middle east.

That same "obligation" for "fair play" didn't stop them from going into Iraq.

He barely said anything. He could be talking out of his ass for all we know.

And to display his knowledge, he walked over to the globe, held his hand over North America, and said, "Anywhere but here is where we think he's hiding... and that's a sixty percent probability on that, too."
