BBC Radio Scotland - Shereen, 29/05/2011

Shereen's special guest this week is Michael Scheuer.

Shereen Nanjiani and her panel take on the best of the week's stories, and her special guest this week is Michael Scheuer, who for years led the CIA hunt for Osama bin Laden.

Shereen Nanjiani leads her panel through the maze of Sunday newsprint, and digests the week's best stories.
Her guests are David Dinsmore, former editor of the Scottish Sun and now News International's man in Scotland, Lyndsay Buckland, the Scotsman health correspondent, and Ewan Crawford, former SNP advisor and now media lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland.
Shereen's special guest is a man who spent much of his working
life hunting down the man whose body was recently dumped in the Indian Ocean. After
a fifteen year search, Osama bin Laden was finally dead. In this extraordinary
interview, Michael Scheuer, former CIA chief of the Bin Laden group, explains why
his enemy was also a man for whom he had considerable respect, why bin Laden
could have been caught and killed more than a decade ago, and why women are 
so much better at the skills needed to hunt an adversary like bin Laden that his
unit was staffed almost entirely by female agents.
