Actually, the more remote he is the easier to get him. The harder it is for him to be anonymous.

Make sure everyone knows about the $25 million. Set up smaller million dollar payouts for people down the chain of command and make sure everyone knows it was paid even if no one knows who got the money. No one want to collect millions if he won’t live to spend it, so make sure you spread the story that the money was paid, green cards issued, families smuggled out, even if its not true.

Build a network of people who are able to go in an out of places you can’t and able to talk to people you can’t. You have to have several layers of people so that you can tell when you’re being fed bad data by some of your people. You want to make sure that everyone in the network knows that there are other people in the network he doesn’t know about.
And you have to build the team that can do snatches in these areas. They might not be American military. And you have to start using them, going after people further down the chain of command, because thats how you’re going to get the information you need. Grab people who know people, and have a heart to heart talk with them where no one else can hear them holler. Don’t worry about the army interrogation manual, because this ain’t no disco and these guys aren’t army.
Bin Ladin might be dead. Thats great. We still want Zawahiri and it might be nice to talk to Mullah Omar about what he knows. He made himself a part of this story, so getting him would be icing on the cake.
