CNN and BBC contribute the vast majority of their (repetitve) programmes to the "Hunt for bin Laden", yet in spite of the constant bombarding I haven't heard a date for the commencement of the offensive (the waiting can often be just as torturous as the battle - ask Cathay management!). So it came as a surprise when one of the ground staff in Japan told me that all Hell was going to be unleashed on the 14th of October
...where did he get that from???
"In the newspaper", I was told.
Sure enough the headlines of one of Japan's major dailys (printed in Kanji) announced that is was October 17, yet it hasn't appeared in any of the English version newspapers.
Has anyone else heard, read, or seen a date mentioned?
