According to that source, U.S. intelligence officials in Afghanistan are now working with the opposition forces and Pashtun rebels in southern parts of the country to ensure that "the two fugitives are caught alive. They fear that angry opposition forces or others may kill them as soon as they are captured."

This statement is merely for public consumption. The U.S. wants him dead. If Muslims execute him, after Muslims captured him, the Arab countries that privately support the U.S. will have all the 'cover' they need. It will also send a message to the rest of worlds terrorist leaders that they cannot hide and they cannot escape.

Do not be surprised if Saddam is next, or at least one of the terrorist leaders he finances and trains.

Bush will not stop with Osama Bin Laden.

Agreed, but privately, I think they want him alive for a little while so we can have a little chat with him.

Then his public capture and execution at the hands of other muslims can take place.
