The ruthless execution of Osama at the hands of other MUSLIMS has some very interesting propaganda value.

And really the only effective way to bring this to an end. Capture and imprisonment will only invite attacks on ourselves.

Death, preferrably at the hands of native Afghanis is the best outcome.
