| It’s HIM! Definitly, maybe |

| Usama bin Laden is alive. That's the conclusion of U.S. intelligence analysts who officially determined Monday that an audiotape broadcast last week was the voice of the international terror mastermind. The analysis of the tape was performed by technical experts, linguists and translators at the CIA and National Security Agency, who compared the message to previous recordings of bin Laden. They are as certain as they can be that it is genuine, the intelligence official said. That's the definitly maybe part. The Al-Jazeera journalist who obtained the tape said it was delivered to him in Pakistan Whoodathunkit? He sounded undeterred by the loss of his home in the Taliban's Afghanistan or by the death and capture of several of his closest lieutenants. Not much of a loss really. |

| #5 Well, since we now have a lot of phonemes pronounced by Binny hisself, why don't we start making our own tapes? Have him confess his passion for wild sex with male pigs or something, maybe have him call Muhammed a faggot... Much fun ensues. |

| #4 I agree with John T: Usama alive becomes a litimus test for any nation that harbors him. |

| #3 Great. So I hope our psyops boys just make sure that all the Arabs know that Osama cut and ran when the going got tough, and that doesn't care that his men got killed. Make sure that every government knows that aiding bin Laden is a sure way to get overthrown. Hey, why not start a rumor that bin Laden escaped only by dressing as a woman in a burkha? Our number one goal is preventing further terrorist attacks. Getting bin Laden is nice, but it's a secondary goal. |

| #2 Better a live incompetent than a dead martyr. I sure hope he gets the bug to talk more. |

| #1 That didn't work out so well. Helluva a lot better than what I was imagining though. Goofy lookin' symbols, hosed HTML, crashed computers, uncontrolable fires, nukes in the hands of the North Koreans etc. I swear that last one was Clinton, not me. |
