During the Mar 16, 2002 Live ZetaTalk IRC Session, the Zetas stated:
(NancyL) ZT: The War on Terrorism is a loss, Bin Laden not only not dead but his network hardly damaged, as renewed activity on the terrorists part will soon reveal.
On Jun 18, 2007 US Intel admitted as much.
- Bin Laden lays low, protected in Pakistan

http://www.examiner.com/a-786435~Bin_Laden_lays_low__protected_by_network_in%20%20_Pakistan.html- Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has surrounded himself in a protective network of Islamic supporters in the vast tribal areas of western Pakistan, complicating the hunt for America's most wanted criminal, U.S. intelligence officials say. The United States has firm evidence bin Laden is alive based on interrogations of captured al Qaeda members and intercepted communications in which known terrorists talk about him, a military intelligence source told The Examiner. The source said the United States has picked up no credible information that bin Laden is dead. Over five years ago, bin Laden crossed the border from Afghanistan's Tora Bora mountain region to find refuge among like-minded tribal leaders in Pakistan. Bin Laden's voice has not been picked up in any communication intercept since he was heard by the United States on a short-range radio in Tora Bora.
