Stufflebeem noted the U.S. military and its allies "have the means" to tighten the noose around elusive terrorist Osama bin Laden, still believed to be holed up somewhere in Afghanistan.

"The noose" around bin Laden "is tightening", Stufflebeem emphasized. Afghanistan "is getting much smaller", offering fewer and fewer places for bin Laden to hide, he concluded. -- November 2, 2001
