Hunting Bin Laden

Hunting Bin Laden "Who is Bin Laden & what does he want?" Uh huh, what about what we want? That storm coming across the mountains toward your "remote mountaintop camp" doesn't have any clouds in it, Binny.That is, if you are the one to blame for today's attacks.

Exactly. Although I heard on TV that Bin Laden has endorsed the tragedy, we have no idea who perpetrated it yet. But Bin Laden has been popularizing the spread and refinement of terrorism for the last decade.

This is a report dated Sept. 9 concerning Bin Laden.
But that still doesn't mean he did it. The evidence is contradictory. The ease with which the hijacks were perpetrated suggest a US culprit. The target selection (particularly the state dpt. carbomb) suggest outside involvement. As Oklahoma has amply proved, US militias can outcrazy even Bin Laden...

The room that I sit in at work is full of people who are now using their crude Photoshop skills to pit Bin Laden in a variety of sexual positions with animals, as well as superimposing him on a body that is fighting the Iron Sheik of WWF fame.

It's insane. Everyone in our office is calling for Bin Laden's head. Funny thing is, is that Bin Laden has not been officially linked to the terrorist attacks. That doesn't stop our fellow Photoshoppers from making Bin Laden look as defamed as possible.

Don't get me wrong. If BL is, in fact, responsible for this attack, I will call for his persecution as much as the guy next to me who just went irate because "that son-of-a-bitch (referring to BL) is going to make me miss my flight this weekend."

Does anyone else think that, until we have some hard evidence, this pre-emptive laying of blame is getting out of hand across America, or do I just work with a bunch of people who are blind past their own feelings?
