This is the current poll (we need to Freep it) on Arabia.com.

Do you think that the US government should reveal the evidence they have against Bin Laden?

Yes, it’s the only way for their attacks to gain legitimacy.

No, it would affect the course of their investigations.

There is no evidence.

Sorry, I tried, but there were so many blocked ads, pop ups, etc. that I decided to leave. It was just like going into an Arabian market, so much crap, that nothing appeared appealing.

LOL, I have so many programs running that block ads, pop-ups, java stuff, background sounds, interactive junk,anti-virus, anti-virus pro-active stuff that detects stuff that is not even invented, cookies, referrals, and auto-refreshes that I can't understand a thing. LOL. All this cracker, hacker, privacy stuff makes it near impossible to do anything either.

The evidence is also by its nature the trail that leads to bin Laden, so we're probably not going to find out anyway. Whether there is a trail that leads to him for this attack or there isn't, we still want him for other attacks he has made and nobody seems to be shouting for that evidence. We don't get evidence for grand jury investigations released to the public either, and this case takes on much the same nature. It's not an obligation of the government to give us information that compromises an ongoing investigation.

Besides, Osama bin Laden could be another Carlos the Jackal, who was accused of being behind every terrorist attack until the time he was apprehended. Carlos was guilty, just as bin Laden is guilty. But could it be that Saddam Hussein is sitting in one of his 115,698 palaces, enjoying his success and plotting the next one? Who knows? But the Taleban's screams for proof of bin Laden's complicity are simply for show, since no matter what proof we give them they'll deny the veracity of that evidence. Well, we all know we're getting into a big ugly mess that will get worse before it gets better.

I wonder what Dan Rather thinks...HA!

Well, it seems to me this is a no brainer but when you're doing all that pondering, think about this, do you think we ought to spill our guts to the world in general and bin-Laden in particular about what we know at this point ? Does it really matter to you if those who oppose us care if our investigation appears legitimate or not ?

President Bush: "Either you are with our us, or you are with the terrorists."

"Our way" on FreeRepublic.com is not with the terrorists.
