Well, almost free. Our taxes are paying for it, but I've very pleased to see the government provide free entertainment for the masses during an economic recession. Way to go!;)
Being on a college campus, I have watched the local communist/socialist groups since the day of the attacks condemning the bloody war America was waging. Despite the fact that not a shot had been fired.
Well, its been several weeks now, and our government has looked for the most peaceful solution possible. The fact that that taliban was unwilling to cooperate even in the slightest makes the bombing both justified, and appropriate.
I really dread the rhetoric of those who think that we should just do nothing.
Yeah, that's a great idea... why don't we let criminals form their own judges and jury, and try themselves! Brilliant! That's the way to solve crime.
I don't think that's what a "jury of their peers" means.

I agree. The Taliban has had weeks to avoid a military confrontation, and our government has been more than willing to resolve this situation in a peaceful matter.
What I don't understand about the groups condemning any military response is that they fail to realize that the military is fighting for their freedom. I saw an interview on Fox news about some group that believed that WW II could have been won by non-violent protests and the like. I'm sure that the axis powers would allow anti-war marches in Berlin.
Our country is at war now, even if it is undeclared one. Americans should support their country during these times, even though they might not want to be at war. Having your own thoughts and the right to express them is one of many things that makes this country great, but there comes a time and place where you need to support your country (and military) first. So far these groups have not done anything wrong yet...I would hate to see things degrade to their status durring the Vietnam war days.
I can only speculate that the proof in this case has not been made public because it would endanger future intelligence gathering efforts. however
1) Every other country has been 100% convinced by the evidence we showed them
2) Evidence has already been presented tying him to other terrorist acts (USS Cole and Embassy bombings)
Yes, I would *hope* the US would hand over someone with a lot less evidence than we have on bin Laden

And if this dosn't get us any closer to catching Bin Laden then this will just be more needless loss of life and property.
