That is silly.Osama is much too important to keep on ice..How can I blame the middleasterners for believing he'll be held for election timing..Maddy toyed with the thought.

Perhaps better . . . from a suitable moderately distant mountain peak or high hill . . .

a webacm focused on the Golden Gate . . . with some dimensions in feet superimposed on both of the towers for depth of sinking into the sea.

We can hope, but I really can't believe they would ever capture him alive. Unlike Saddam with his country and his palaces, this guy's been a cowering cave dweller for over two years.

Rich or not, he still has a lot less to lose in taking himself out in a blaze of glory.

OK this is a new story. Look to the 4th story from the top, which says: "Pakistan Officials Confirm Capture of osama bin Ladin."

When I click on it, the page is empty - but it looks like a momentary glitch. This is a ray of hope...

This is the first one I've heard and Jim weighed in early in the thread. Jim did not dismiss the poster. I am tending to want to hold out hope on this "rumor."

Maybe just a 'making one ready, just in case' page...

Still, let's hope they fill it with the good word.

Geraldo is a smuck, but a likeable smuck...

Excellent description.

He may have been a Clinton apologist butt-kisser liberal, but the guy has some guts and certainly is entertaining.

I think some media are behind the power curve and cross-checking Iranian reports with DOD announcements

My sleep has been so screwed-up, what one more messed up night? I wish I drank coffee, but I can't even stand the smell of it.

It's the statement that they are holding him for election advantage that makes me think this isn't credible.Iran isn't about to make us look good.

Looks like the article is still being written but the google news searcher automatically picked up the programming for the headline...

I like that word "confirm"...

Notice how slow the link is to load--even if the page is empty? It's being hit an awful lot.
