Delta will never bring him out alive. He’s still over there and if they catch him, they’ll kill him. No way does Bin Laden gets the international stage a courtroom would give him. Though the orders are capture or kill, he will be caught and killed. We can live with martyrs, but he’s a walking dead man for sure.

bin laden is confidential information, it will do good to just forget him.

There is no way Bin Ladin is held in US custody…
First, we or our allies would never capture him alive.
Second, supposing he was captured, the USG could never keep it a secret, since the political value of leaking it is too great.
Third, if he was killed or even missing, AQ would claim he was martyred– it is not a death blow or humiliation to AQ when Bin Ladin dies…in fact, it will seal his place in this movement and will not weaken it
(Although killing him would be a good thing for the US, capturing even better…but HIGHLY doubtful).
I wouldn’t believe anyone connected to the USIC would even know about it if it was true.

RFID chips small enough to go into a tooth have a range of about 10 to 20 feet. Not a lot of RFID trackers in the mountains of Afghanistan.

An “October surprise” might have made a difference in the Bush re-election 2004 campaign, but it’s hard to imagine how much difference it would make in this year’s election. The Afghanistan war is not an issue.

If The US wants Bin Laden what they should of done from the start and I’ve already stated this since 2003. all those captured terrorist should have been put to sleep and implanted a RFID chip in their tooth or embeded on their bone. Send them back or let them go back and track them. They would eventually paint a whole picture of they organization and their movement. With a little patience and collatoral damage the whole network would be brought down. Its that simple. Sometimes I think the US does not want to catch him because it weakens our purpose of being there. Also if we did have him we could not tell anyone because terrorist would start kidnapping and executing innocent people for his release.

I find a lot or Irony in both sides playing the game of keeping it quite that OBL is captured, for the benefit fo both sides. We get to use him as the boogey man and the other side doesn’t lose face because we have him. Oh what a tangled web we weave.
Not that I am saying we captured or killed him, but in keeping it quite, we now deny Al Qaida any opportunity to proclaim him a martyr or hero without acknowledging that we got him, then they lose more face along with the gains we have been posting lately.

didn’t bush say that bin laden wasn’t a priority and wasn’t a big deal and others were actually running things and so on and so on, didn’t he release some videos with references to the surge? I could be wrong but that would negate the assertion he died in 2003
