I think the first move is to trace the money & secure the bank accounts - by an extreme of intimidation - if necessary.

Next is to set up a terrorist communication / travel monitoring system.

In the same spirit of the first Tokyo raid, the next step would be to reasonably bracket Bin Laden's location & go after that region with, preferably, fuel-air bombs to snuff his candles, then a major round-the-clock carpet bombing of any of his hide-out regions in Afghanistan.

When the Afghanis get hungry and cold; and the Pakistanis can't stop the refugee flow into Pakistan - let them deliver Bin Laden.

Thereafter, monitor the terrorist activity to identify the terrorist cells and sympathizers & take it from there.

In the meantime, America needs to do more thinking and monitoring on the home-front. Awareness & discovery are damned important at home.

Chest-beating won't achieve a thing.

As negative as prejudice is, you can't let the accusation of 'racial profiling' block a hunt for a racial bank of terrorists. If the Muslims don't like it; let them cough up the names & locations.

Afghanistan courts are still hanging onto the aid workers for preaching Christianity - I'm not buying the race card. It's a two-way street.
