One interesting question is who "they" were. Not the US armed forces, apparently, but rather Afghans sent in by casualty-shy Americans. Man, would you like to go snooping around in Tora Bora? Neither would I. And neither did the Americans. And neither, by all accounts, did the Afghans. So what happened? Looks like OBL&Co. got away.
The American and British forces were there for months, scowering all possible locations. Admittedly, the GI's were sent two months after the invasion began. Donald Rumsfeld would have us believe that there were huge underground bases with lot's of amenities when in reality you had scat little caves with some reserved ammo.

Ignorance is strength
Harness the power of Ingsoc, then you can capture someone killed the year before
