Are they even allowed to publish this kind of information? Or is it withheld under the PATRIOT act with the rest of our civil liberties?

This is /. - we don't need to read no article to dream up a plausible reply.

I think it is due to the little known Male Answer Syndrome - the genetic disorder that lets makes guys who flunked high-school physics and haven't had a date in six months able to explain what went wrong at NASA and know what women really want.

ProdiGene is based in College Station.
If you are not familiar with the term "Aggie" this is a student or alumnus of Texas A&M University. For reference.

Yeah just like when some news agency reported Al Qaeda had the blueprints for making atomic bombs.

I believe the point of the death penalty is not to punish, it is prevent the same person from repeating the same attrocities, because this person proven himself impervious to punishment. Bin Laden is such a person. The death penalty is a tactic of cutting losses by gambling, we wager that by killing one we save more than one.

You're right about it not detering future terrorists, except if it comes under extensive use, which is undesirable and threat in and of itself (terrorism becomes the subject of a new McCarthyism(sp?)).

That's not justice.

I believe those people who lost loved ones in New York deserve to feel better, and deserve revenge. Bin Laden has done so much harm and so little to benefit society, and stands to do so much more, that the benefit of killing him would greatly outweigh almost any cost. I fear the day he acquires a nuclear weapon, and unfortunately, there is no doubt in my mind that day will come. Our only hope is to eradicate him and his follows before that happens. Also, there is no place left in the world where Bin Laden can get justice in court or otherwise. He has so enraged and polarized the world that in all places he is held as hero or evil incarnate. Try to hold him in jail and his followers terrorize you until he is released.

The ideal solution to defeating Bin Laden is to unite all Muslim leaders against him, have them tell his followers that he's twisted the word of the Koran beyond recognition for his own evil purposes. I believe that is the only way to truely defeat his organization and prevent its coming back, but death is the only solution fast enough and causing enough disarray to greatly delay or prevent further attrocities.
