"They've already captured Osama, and they're going to spring him right before the election!"
Where in the hell has this silly idea come from, and why do people buy into it? So many people are so very disdainful of the current government that they're coming up with outlandish ideas that have absolutely no basis in fact. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Bin Laden has not been, nor will he ever be, captured. It's too easy to disappear in this world, even from the prying eyes George W., no matter how evil incarnate you want him to be.
It's especially easy to disappear when you have millions of dollars, millions of people who admire you, an entire Arabian network waiting with bated breath for your next communique, and an American military that has lost nearly all ability to gather intelligence while being randomly scattered about the globe.
