You joke about the murder of our citizens? Seek help from your God if you have one.

Arafat the peacelover threatens the life of a Cameraman DJ AP Protests Palestinian Threats To Freelance Cameraman -- JERUSALEM (AP)--The Associated Press on Wednesday protested to the Palestinian Authority about threats against a freelance cameraman who filmed Palestinians celebrating terror attacks in the United States. The videographer, on assignment for Associated Press Television News, was summoned to a Palestinian Authority security office and told that the material must not be aired. Calls in the name of the Tanzim militia, an armed group associated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah group, warned him he would be held responsible and made what he interpreted as threats on his life. Several Palestinian Authority officials spoke to AP in Jerusalem urging that the material not be broadcast. Ahmed Abdel Rahman, Arafat's Cabinet secretary, said the Palestinian Authority "cannot guarantee the life" of the cameraman if the footage was broadcast. The cameraman then requested that the material not be aired. In light of the danger, APTN has not released the footage of the rally in Nablus. AP news stories reported worldwide on the demonstration in Nablus and AP distributed still pictures and video of similar rallies in east Jerusalem, Lebanon and elsewhere. An AP still photographer did not take pictures of the Nablus rally after being warned at the scene not to do so. The protest by AP Chief of Bureau Dan Perry said, "I ask the assurances of the Palestinian Authority that you will protect our journalists from threats and attempts at intimidation and that no harm would come to our freelance cameraman from distribution of the film."

Ok, I have what is probably a real dumb question, but I have to ask it. Why can't we (USA) send about 10,000 of our troops overseas and just dig out (in a peaceful manner) Bin Laden, and bring his ass home? I mean, if Afghanistan had it in their minds that we had our resources pointed right at them, and all we wanted was to locate and recover this man, would anyone put up a fight? I have been reading a lot, and there is much that I do not understand. But this is a depressed country overall is it not? Wouldn't 10,000 heavily armed soldiers (not looking for a fight mind you) be enough to just grab this guy and bring him back? Is the rest of the world going to have a problem with this? It seems to me this Bin Laden is basically against the rest of the world. Then again, would someone like Bin Laden actually lash out against us on their own accord? Or is he paid to do it? I guess I just don't understand this stuff. What is so damn hard about going in to a depressed country and removing tyrants and terrorists? Somebody please try and enlighten me..and keep in mind I am apparantly not the brightest bulb on the tree. P.S. I am not insinuating that Bin Laden is the guilty party for Tuesday's events, but he is in fact a known terrorist, he is a problem, and he should just be handled.
