I still hold Scheurer primarily responsible for not getting Bin Laden even though he tries to deflect the blame in his lame book.

Haven’t read it. But I’ll shinny out on a pretty sturdy limb and suggest that it is almost entirely fiction. Bin Laden is recent enough news that anyone working for the CIA during his rise and the search for him in Afghanistan would still be tightly bound by security restrictions keeping him from divulging such information under penalty of imprisonment for a very long time. I’m guessing that the reason he hasn’t been brought up on charges is simply that there is nothing even remotely factual in his book.

Has anyone verified that he actually worked for the CIA, and if true that he worked there as something other than a janitor or valet?
