Bin Laden "Dead or Alive". How about found alive then killed immediately.

George W Bush has again reiterated his belief that Osama Bin Laden will be found dead or alive. I think ultimately he will be found but that he's really not that big a priority right now. When he is eventually caught however, he should be shot immediately. Otherwise he will make a mockery of justice the way Saddam Hussein has. As George Jonas has said a number of times, the only thing worse than no trial is a show trial and that's exactly what this is. I think part of the reason for the current turmoil in Iraq is that there are some Iraqis who honestly believe this guy will be back in power soon. He should have been shot on sight when found in that cubby hole or dropped into the middle of an angry mob in downtown Baghdad. That would have been justice. And for the apologists out there, No that doesn't make me "as bad as him". Hussein was a dictatorial, genocidal, mass murdering tyrant. I, and others who feel the same way, are not.
