Well, sort of

There are those who make a career out of "close enough." Take Harold Camping, for instance. The world didn't end on his schedule (neither did his bank balance, by all accounts) but it appears that his personal rapture has caught up with him. Those who are of a believing sort might consider this stroke a subtle reminder from the deity that second-guessing him is a really bad idea.

Then we have California treasure hunter Bill Warren, out to find bin Laden's body in the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean... to prove he's dead. (Never mind that al Qaida says he is.) This certainly plays very well in Islamabad, and also on Fox, which is oblivious to the former. That is, however, a powerful big piece of water, much of it very deep indeed. It also has an awful lot of marine life that likes to feed on dead bodies. As usual, these are little details that elude boradcast media.

People like Warren don't break wind without a clear profit motive. They also know what the odds of success are for any given venture. Warren probably knows his odds of finding bin Laden's body are about the same as his winning the lottery twice in the same week. If Fox isn't making this worth his while, who is? Donald Trump?

I'd be a fan of Julian Assange if he included con jobs like these in his ministrations.

"Close enough" has caught up with Camping. When will Warren (or his backers) declare "close enough?"
