Oooh, I’m Shaking!
Reuters reports on the content of Osama bin Laden’s latest Billboard Hit:
Osama bin Laden, in a fresh audiotape, threatened to execute any Americans taken prisoner by al Qaeda if accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is executed, al Jazeera television reported on Thursday.

And this changes things exactly how? Seems in my memory most captives of al Qaeda end up separated from their head in internet videos. I know a few have escaped and/or been rescued, but the jihadists aren’t exactly world-renowned for their humane, state of the art prisoner of war facilities.
I also seem to recall various members of the Democrat Party chiding President Bush for not actually “getting” bin Laden. While I want some proof that lowlife is actually reducing his carbon footprint to zero, I don’t see the current Administration doing much to further that goal.
Here’s hoping that, assuming he is actually still breathing, our forces get to him first before Justice Department lawyers get their way with a kangaroo show trial like they proposed for KSM and Company.
He is still searching for relevance in the digital age. Here’s hoping he achieve digital excellence on Youtube as the video from a drone camera!

I’ll drink to that, Joe! Personally, I’m of the opinion that he’s actually already dead, buried under a mountain in ToraBora. AQ might just be using old vid splices and voiceovers, and it suits our purposes from a ‘recruiting’ standpoint to just play along.
