Osama Bin Laden is like the legendary Cooper who dived out of a plane in 1971 and was never seen again. Who cares?

If it is him, maybe we could drag what's left of his body through the streets of NYC like they did to our Rangers in Mogadishu.

RE: D B Cooper

I did my part in the early eighty's to keep the mystery alive.

I did that for three years.
