Does been have a long e sound?

Not in US English, where it has a short I sound for the EE, as in "bin." It retains the long E sound in many British English dialects. Webster's dictionary notes 3 pronunciations - 'bin' with a short I; 'ben' with a short E; and 'been' with a long E. In my experience 'bin' with the short I sound is the most common pronunciation.
