A final note for the day.

Forgive the rare note of political commentary.
The Bush administration is now taking the fight to bin Laden on his own ground: strongly worded statements released to the media.

"These terrorists offer nothing in their ideology and messages beyond future fighting, conflict and misery," the Bush administration said in a statement read by a White House official.

The official said the United States was analyzing the contents of the message and working to determine the authenticity of the recording, which was not immediately verified.

"If authentic, the tape demonstrates yet again that bin Laden and al-Qaida continue to use the media to justify their dark vision and war against humanity," the statement said.

George, Osama should be dead by now.
He planned the murder of thousands of people on American soil, and is drawing breath almost five years later. Why?
