WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Osama Bin Laden “is a man on the run, from a cave, who’s virtually impotent other than the tapes” he releases from time to time. That was the mid-September assessment of Frances Fragos Townsend, top adviser to President Bush on homeland security, terrorism and counter-terrorism. A former assistant commandant of the Coast Guard for intelligence, Townsend was also a counsel to the attorney general for intelligence policy. The best and the brightest in the Bush White House, she served as deputy national security adviser for combating terrorism before her elevation to czar (or czarina) for transnational terrorism.
