"maybe they do not want to draw attention to the fact
that they still can't find bin
Laden. Or won't."
The "can not" covers the fact that he's not able to
find him. Adding "will not" would be redundant unless
it was meant as an intentionaly will not.
At least that's how I read it. If I read it wrong ,
again sorry.
