Apparently, Osama has given up on life, but Al-Quaida will live on...

Snippits:


Osama bin Laden's cohorts are trying to use a mule-trail escape route into Pakistan to board tiny boats hidden off the southern coast - and the U.S. military fears some have already succeeded, Pentagon sources said.

Secret al Qaeda documents and captured members' confessions also reveal that new training camps are being established in Yemen, Indonesia and Somalia to breed terrorists and house Afghan escapees.

Despite some of his family members and soldiers fleeing, bin Laden yesterday was leading about 1,000 of his most hardened soldiers in a last stand to defend his bomb-blasted mountain hideouts in eastern Afghanistan's Tora Bora region, a Northern Alliance spokesman said.
---
A total of 105 pickup trucks carrying Taliban members and officials have entered Pakistan at three border crossings since Thursday, according to a senior Pakistani official in Chaman.
---
The secret documents seized from al Qaeda and Taliban safe houses across Afghanistan reveal that Hadhramautt, a remote valley in eastern Yemen, is one of four places where new terror camps are being established.
---
Two camps are believed to be in Indonesia - one in Aceh, in northern Sumatra, the other in the eastern Moluccan Islands.

Al Qaeda has also built a logistics and training base in Somalia.




These guys don't give up---they appear more resolute than we first gave them credit for (I thought the beating in Afghanistan and the death of two of the top three would crack them) and even more pervasive.

This could get really ugly. There can't be all these members of one small religion that believe the same thing and are violently inclined.
