The CIA would have met Ben Laden in July [sic]?

BenHammersly.com reports intriguingly that "According to Le Figaro, the CIA met with Bin Ladin in July." The original article is, of course in French; running it through Babelfish results in some delightful gibberish, such as the following oh-so-illuminating quote: `With the question "that fear you in the days which come? ", the Americans oppose a not easily comprehensible dumbness'. Hopefully if there's anything to this story, the English-language press will not rely on Babelfish.
