Page "Gary Berntsen" Paragraph 6

In his 2005 book, Jawbreaker, he alleges that Osama bin Laden could have been captured at Tora Bora if the US military ( specifically United States Central Command ) had devoted more resources to the operation.

This claim gained substantial traction due to a Senate Report on the circumstances of bin Laden's escape.

According to both Berntsen's account and the Senate Committee's report, " Bin Laden and bodyguards walked unmolested out of Tora Bora and disappeared into Pakistan's unregulated tribal area.

" Berntsen insists this would have been stopped by a US military presence on the Afghan-Pakistan border, instead of a reliance on corrupt local warlords.
