Count 1. Not capturing Bin Laden does fall under the above-mentioned statutes.

The analysis of the tape shows that an intelligence operative was left behind in that village to alert the U.S. Special Forces of when Bin Laden returned to visit with his family. It is then that the second part of the sting operation would be implemented; his capture.

Bin Laden returned the evening of November 2, 2001. The weather was freezing rain. Despite the inclement weather, two Special Forces helicopters were dispatched, a Predator drone prototype (the most sophisticated at the time in the Air Force arsenal, specifically designed to operate in bad weather), and F-14 jets circulated overhead.

Due to the bad weather, the airspace shrunk and brought the aircrafts too close to each other, while the helicopter is equipped with a collision avoidance system, the Predator drone is not. The drone collided with one of the helicopters and they both crashed.

The second helicopter rescued the crew of the first and an F-14 destroyed the crashed helicopter shortly after.

The capture mission failed.

Bin Laden is still free because of the premeditated decision to tape him instead of capturing when the Bush Administration had its best chances.

But that is not the end of it; there is another incident that qualifies as premeditated treason.

Count 2. Since Bin Laden is still free, the videotape resulting from the first part of the sting operation can be described as a sensitive by-product of a failed intelligence operation that was designed, in its totality, to capture him.

Buckling under pressure from the Muslim and Arab streets for proof that Bin Laden is responsible for 9/11, the Bush administration released the only evidence it had of his guilt. The White House and the Pentagon tell us that there was ample deliberation, indicating a premeditated act, of the consequences of its release; the videotape was released on December 13, 2001.

The one major consequence they don't want anyone to know about is how Bin Laden would react when viewing the tape. Inevitably, Bin Laden was to see that tape and he would quickly realize that it was taped covertly. He would realize how close intelligence operatives were to him; basically they could have captured him.

The only time Bin Laden took exception to his own security rules in meeting visitors ? he went to this visitor in accommodation to the visitor's handicap (paraplegic) while other visitors were always brought to him under a strict security protocol ? he gets taped covertly confessing by intelligence operatives.

The very serious consequence of releasing the tape is that security around Bin Laden will get even tighter and no one would ever get close to Bin Laden again regardless of how honest the effort is by this administration or any future one.

The most wanted man in America is still free as a result of deliberate and premeditated acts by the Bush administration and the second of which insured that he would never be caught.

All material used to uncover these crimes is in the public domain, the majority of which is inadvertently provided by the Pentagon. Any investigation or prosecution would confirm the allegation and yield more counts.

I have shared my research material, as it was developing, with Patrick Fitzgerald over a period of six months until the final version of the article was written. I believe that the material ended up in a sealed investigative file at the DoJ.
