A discussion, aired Monday afternoon, of the significance of the killing of Osama bin Laden by US forces....
Of the interviews I have done so far, this was the most interesting because it was the most critical of the prospects for American power. In contrast to the celebrations by many in the US, the panellists here --- the other two participants --- Hamid Gul, the former head of the Pakistani intelligence service ISI, and Ahmed Zaidan, the Pakistan bureau chief of Al Jazeera Arabic and author of the book Bin Laden Unmasked --- quickly moved to assess the post-bin Laden challenges for the US, especially in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
