"Let me know when they can point down at the ground and tell me "right there".

Let US know when all you guys who are so impatient to get him today can tell us how to get him and where he is.

You missed my point. We've been hearing reports for four years now about being "hours behind" Bin Laden, or about how they know where he is and are moving in on him. At this point, I'd prefer they don't keep throwing out "teasers" unless there's some substance to them.

Telling us "well, we thought we had him but we just missed him" or "we know where he is" only damages the credibility of the speakers.

I have a better idea. Stop telling everybody that they know right where he is, because if they are even close, he knows it's time to move. Stop telling the media when they think they are hot on his trail. Stop giving him ANY info he can exploit to avoid further capture.

And stop with the "teasers", like I said. Let us know when we got a body, not just another rumor. Because every time they publicize another rumor of imminent capture that doesn't work out, they just add to Osama's "you can't touch this" legend.
