I REALLY want him alive. Can you imagine a delousing video of this guy on the heels of the Saddam perp walk and the effect it will have on the "Arab street"?

Report: Osama bin Laden captured between Afghanistan and Pakistan
Osama bin Laden has been captured along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to a report Saturday on Tehran Radio.

There was no confirmation of the report from any other media sources.

The Al-Qaida leader has been the target of a massive manhunt by the United States since the September 11, 2000 attacks in which two hijacked airplanes slammed into the World Trade Center in New York, causing it to collapse, while another plane hit the Pentagon, and a fourth apparently crashed in a field when passengers resisted the militants.

Earlier Saturday, DPA reported that hundreds of U.S.-led coalition troops launched an operation in the Afghanistan's eastern province of Khost to hunt down Al-Qaida and Taliban fugitives, citing the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP).

Qoting witnesses AIB said about 35 military vehicles and tanks were seen moving towards the southeastern part of the province close to the Pakistani border.

"The convoy has now reached around the areas of Tora Ghara, Toda Cheena and Mustalbar and has launched the search operation, along the Pak-Afghan border region," travellers moving across the border into Pakistani town of Miranshah told AIP.

According to AIP no Khost official was immediately available for comments on the new operation but U.S. officials had indicated last week that a big mobilization of coalition troops in Afghanistan

Waiting for the majors to start on this, if true. Oh, God, please. I don't know how many "Osama Is Captured" stories I can take that aren't true. Let it be true this time.

I guess I'll go make fresh coffee!

And maybe I'll put my tagline back up.

Gigantor, I'm going outside to smoke a celebratory cigar (any excuse will do), pet my dogs, drink my coffee, and listen to the whippoorwills and hoot owls. When MEG33 and I come back, we want a full report. :-)

Thanks for that article link. Copied this:

Finding bin Laden, who experts say is likely to be surrounded by a small but loyal guard, would not be the end of the problem. Unlike Saddam, he and al-Zawahri would rather die than be caught.

Fine, that can be arranged!!!!
