A New October Surprise, or Just Conspiracy Theory
Mama, Mama, We're All Crazy Now
A lot of very rational friends of mine have been saying this for almost a year. That the administration will announce that it has captured Osama Bin Laden sometime in October, echoing the famous October suprise of 1980, when Regan allies secretly negotiated the release of American hostages (in exchange for arms as it turned out). What's so suprising about this rumor/theory is that it seems to have so much traction amoung the elites here in DC, both Dem. and Rep.
If it turns out to be true, it would be freaky. But I, for one, doubt it.
