UCLA Student Project: Find Bin Laden
The LA Times reports on an ambitious class project at UCLA, where a geography class project has used space-age tools to place Bin Laden at one of three locations.
From the LA Times:
"Using standard geographical tools routinely employed to locate endangered species and fugitive criminals, the group said there is a high probability that Bin Laden has been hiding in one of three buildings in the northwestern Pakistani city of Parachinar, a longtime hide-out for mujahedin fighters.
"Osama bin Laden"He may be sitting there right now," said UCLA biogeographer Thomas W. Gillespie, who led the study published online Tuesday in the MIT International Review, an interdisciplinary journal of international affairs."

And is it best to "publish" this kind of report or quietly hand it over the the CIA. If he was there yesterday he will not be there today.
