What happened to Bin Laden?

On my BBC television show, Newsnight, an American journalist 
confessed that, since the 9/11 attacks, US reporters are simply too 
afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions that could kill careers: 
"It's an obscene comparison, but there was a time in South Africa 
when people would put flaming tires around people's necks if they 
dissented. In some ways, the fear is that you will be necklaced here, 
you will have a flaming tire of lack of patriotism put around your 
neck," Dan Rather said. Without his makeup, Rather looked drawn, old 
and defeated in confessing that he too had given in. "It's that fear 
that keeps journalists from asking the toughest of the tough 
questions and to continue to bore in on the tough questions so often."

  Investigators were ordered to "back off" from any inquiries into 
Saudi Arabian financing of terror networks.

  The reports I did based on this information won the Sonoma State 
University School of Journalism's Project Censored Award in 2002. 
It's not the kind of prize you want to win -- it's given to crucial 
stories that were effectively banned from US airwaves and papers. I 
don't want any misunderstanding here, so I must emphasize what we did 
not find: We uncovered no information, none whatsoever, that George 
W. Bush had any advance knowledge of the plan to attack the World 
Trade Center on 9/11, nor, heaven forbid, any involvement in the 
attack.
