Osama bin Laden, America's most wanted man, will not face capture in Pakistan if he agrees to lead a "peaceful life," Pakistani officials tell ABC News.

The surprising announcement comes as Pakistani army officials announced they were pulling their troops out of the North Waziristan region as part of a "peace deal" with the Taliban.

If he is in Pakistan, bin Laden "would not be taken into custody," Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan told ABC News in a telephone interview, "as long as one is being like a peaceful citizen."

The Bush Adminstration has been played by Pakistan for five years. This is a country that poses more danger than Iraq and Iran combined. Is it going to take a mushroom cloud for someone to wake up and realize that we are fighting the wrong enemy? What happened to the "you're either with us or against us" talk from Bush?
