It's funny, though. I noticed that at a local bookstore, [url=http://weblog.herald.com/column/davebarry/]Dave Barry[/url] and his co-author (whose name escapes me) are going to be reading from their [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0786854456/qid=1094073739/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/102-5580997-3688120?v=glance&s=books&n=507846]Peter Pan prequel[/url] a week from Saturday. Which is, for those without calanders, on September 11. Life goes on, I suppose. Or would, anyway. The coming storm makes any plans uncertain.
Well – Maybe we have him in the best place. No where.
Maybe dead – either of sickness or a splattered on the bottom of some cave that has been bombed. If he is dead and no one knows that’s fine – he doesn’t get martyr status.
Maybe alive – he’s in isolation cut off and unable to direct the efforts of the Talaban or other groups. We don’t have him in custody and on trial which would bring about stupid reprisal attacks.
Would it be great if we had him and tried him for his crimes with no incident? Sure. However, it’s not so bad.

I suppose we'll find out towards the end of the Bush campaign. ;)

October Surprise, anyone?
The other possibility has already been alluded to. Osama is already in US custody at Area 51 or something equally silly/Ubersecret and he'll be trotted out as the Ace in the Hole for the Bush re-election campaign.
I would so love for Osama to escape, or die in an escape attempt and dump a truckload of egg on Bushes face...
I'd love Bush to make an announcement about his capture... then OSama escapes/dies in the attempt, then the real story comes out about how hes been in captivity for over a year and he's actually escaped again before he could be tried or punished for his crimes...
gawd... talk about political suicide... I dont think even Bush would take this sort of risk. A misplaced journalist and Bush is a dead duck, maybe the first US President to go to jail...
"Catching Ossama bin Lain is just a matter of time. Yep, election time."

I'll believe it when I see his head stuck on a pike on public display outside the White House....so I can walk up to it and smile while I wave like *this*.
That is what I want Mr. Morden.....erm..yeah.

You've obviously never heard of fall out, or dirty bombs. Radioactive dust and material isn't going to present its passport at the Canadian border...
numbskull
My plan is to move as far away from the US Border anyway.... I still dont give a rats ass.

Ok, here's a wild idea. Head on over to NASA, have them place you in that giant low-gravity sim....and take off your seat belt while the simulation is running.

I fail to see the connectionbe tween Terrorist and Death, Terrorist arnt the only thing that Kills people. Famine in Africa Kills more kids then Terrorist.. One of the Reason I stoped Careing
2. Last time I checked, famine wasn't inherently evil and didn't kill people on purpose.
3. The figure of Death is, in most cases, seen as being evil. Terrorism is evil. Thus they can be connected in a symbolic way. Is any of this making it into your single brain cell?

[URL=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Evil]Evil[/URL] is such a nice selling word Isnt it....
After taking a look at the Definition " Morally bad or wrong; wicked: an evil tyrant"
So I could go around calling anyone evil that has differnt Morals then me evil....
