Response Number 2

It's a secret al-Qaida message. Take the first letters of "like a
duck in a noose" and you get "L-A-D-I-N." Several readers
energetically promoted this explanation, which is sure to be a hit on
fringe Web sites. Two problems. First, if you take the first letters of
"like a duck in a noose," what you really get is "L-A-D-I-A-N." And
anyway, it's Osama Bin Laden, not Osama Bin Ladin.

I sort of like the first Response,

t's the secret word bird. On the old TV show, You Bet Your Life,
whenever a contestant uttered a secret word (which host Groucho
Marx always called, "the secret woyd,"), a duck would fall from the
ceiling with a string around its neck. This indicated that the
contestant had won money. Perhaps Chief Moose was alluding to
the sniper's request for ransom money.
