They got him! Osama bin Laden

[Dinner]

On a more solid note an Egyptian man living in Pakistan was giving $27 million by the U.S. for his part in helping the allies capture Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.

Anyone want to bet why this Egyptian knew where Mohammed was hiding? Hmmm... like maybe he was in Al Qaeda and decided to turn Judas for a pile of yankee greenbacks? Still if money gets these snakes to turn on each other then money is what we should give them.

He was the al Qaeda grunt busted in Quetta when they were looking for Mohammad. Given a choice between CIA interrogation in Uzbekistan, with maybe, if you're real lucky, a trip to Gitmo somewhere in your future, or 27 mil for rolling over, what would you do?

OBL himself warned about the "impurity" within the ranks, and the lack of commitment of a lot of the low-level followers.

Well, that's the idea behind the 25 million dollar reward...

It seems a senior member of a Militant Islamic party is the one spotting off with this conspiracy theory that the U.S. has OBL but doesn't want the world to know until after Saddam is defeated. Why is the Middleeast/muslim world so over run with conspiracy theories? Is it due to the historic lack of reliable information? The government owned media only plays propaganda so in the absence of real information people make things up?

*crosses fingers*

when i saw this thread title, i was like, "NO WAY!"
i was dissapointed by the fact that it is unconfirmed, but still there is hope...

[KrazyHorse]

I hope, but not a chance.

Agreed with UR's assessent.

[Dis]

No way

I told you guys I was going to Afghanistan last year. I managed to get a plane ticket to Karachi. I then travelled on camelback into the mountains along the border of Pakistan/Afghanistan.

I then captured Usama Bin Ladin and transported him via a cargo ship to Los Angeles. And took a bus to Las Vegas.

He is now currently residing in my basement. I am now torturing him using Barney videos. tickling, electrical shocks, Britney Spears music, and WNBA games.

[KrazyHorse]

Can you torture me with Britney?

[Ramo]

Unlikely, of course the Pakistani gov't does have an interest in making sure bin Laden doesn't become a martyr.

[Dinner]

Oh, I can think of several ways I'd like to be tortured by Britney. Most of them involve few clothes and lots of hot oil...

[Ramo]

Well, you'd first have to find a way to keep her mouth closed (or full ).

[Dinner]

Hmmm, how to keep her mouth full...

[SuperSneak]

Well, you guys really shared a lot with us there.

The report briefly buoyed financial markets around the world. After falling sharply in early morning trading, U.S. stock futures staged a comeback when the report aired on the BBC, but fell back into the red after the denials were reported.

I smell a stock market scam. If I were a Pakistani politician, I´d jump at the chance to make a lot of money by spreading rumors while my cronies sit at computers doing a few quick stock transactions.

[Solver]

I'm a bit sceptical for now. Do we have ANY evidence that is SOLID that OBL is captured?
