Lindy, OBL by intelligence estimates seems to be alive. The worst about him is that he probably is sick. If "Homeland Security" is a myth, then why are the states and local governments asking to beef up - in pursuant to the federal guidelines without a dime from feds. At a minimum there should be increased funding for coast guards and increased scrutiny of shipping containers at the port of entry. Heck the local fire stations in DC are missing bare neccassities like Aspirin and critical gear to fight a fire, let alone fighting a calamity. IMO, OBL chase should be of high profile (forget the Arab street if they complain - no need to win their hearts and minds - since we were attacked), arm twist the countries and their leaders who harbour terrorists. Much of it could have been done with a lower cost and would have given us many new allies in this fight. Nothing has been done satisfactorily in this regard. Think of pakistan who has been proliferating weapons to Iran and US has not been doing much to reigh it in. To his credit, Musharraf seems to harping peace pipe with India at the moment :-)
