#1 God, I hope that 'directive' is still tenable; such a showy event if made public, in my opinion would only be rivalled by David's display of Goliath's head, from antiquity! Remembered for generations!!

#2 NPR was probably apoplectic over the very thought. Me, I'm down with it.

#4 The problem is the Failed/Angry Left wants America to ''obey the world community'', the UNO, and espec the UNIC, and basically to ignore any and all new 9-11'a or other events in favor of SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, more domestic Regulation, super-Regulation, Protectionisms, and Big, Bigger, B-i-g-g-g-......-e-r
Government!? Dubya and Amerika has to Regulate and Protect, Tax and Spend, the way Mom and Betty Crocker can - the Left wants America to modernize the world and create new Global Empire, NOT rule or govern its new Empire!

#5 Ortega and Castro, etal. began to behave themselves once they realized they're biggest and best defense was the Democrats and aligned pols in Washington, DC not in Moscow or Beijing or the Soviet AIrborne-Spetznatz.

#7 OBL's head on a pike is good. What's better is his severed ''manhood'' jammed in his mouth also.

#10 head on a pike is good. The old Vlad Impaler method would also be adequate. I always fancied the drawn and quartered tactic.

Nah, nailed over the gate to the Crawford ranch. It'll make a great first impression on anyone invited for lunch.

#14 Spiked on one of the fence-posts around the White House would be a bit Celtic... but ultimatly rather satisfying. My personal fantasy about Bin Laden is that he be captured alive, but suffering from some obscure, painful and lingering disease, which requires lots of painful and intrusive treatments. And in captivity, he is cared for by one of the very few medical experts specializing in this disease. An American woman doctor...who is also Jewish.
And a very butch lesbian.

#18 I have daydreamed about an early morning mission to New York where a handful of guys hop out of a truck at the World Trade Center and erect OBL's head on a pike. The world wakes up to see his head on display on the morning news. Icing on the cake would be if Ayman's was there too.

#19 Nah. Let him serve as a test subject for teaching venipuncture or emg/ncs needle placement.

#20 I still like TGA's idea of a few bungee-cord practice runs at dropping him off a tall building, preferably whatever replaces the WTC. Followed by the flaming finale.

#21 Nail his intestines to a post at the top of the freedom tower and toss him over -- with a parachute so he can enjoy the ride down.

The NYC residents will do the rest. (if there's anything left of him that is.)

I like Sgt Mom's idea too :).

Sounds like the University of Texas softball team...

#24 hoist heads of other Al Qaeda leaders on pikes, retired field officer has disclosed

Pikes are good but I'd settle for a decent spear. Short and all, but it's hard to find a good old fashioned pike these days outside of the Ren Faire and the parts of Pakistan that love Binnie.

#25 You know, the Vlad the Impaler bit is a good idea. He certainly freaked the Muslim's out during his time, perhaps we should start leaving forests of impaled Jihadis' and start rumors that old Vlad is back.

#26 Only if the impaling sticks are coated with pig fat on the points to start the process properly.

Although in NYC the resident vermin would shorten the process considerably.

But this is vicious nonsense. The American Armed Forces don't do things like that. Not even the Special Forces types... not even the interrogators. And the CIA hasn't even considered such a thing in decades, I suspect.
