Capt. Now here is a nice guy. <:o) North Carolina Sheriff Criticized for Holiday Card Showing Beheaded Bin Laden The Associated Press Published: Nov 14, 2001 LEXINGTON, N.C. (AP) - A sheriff known for dressing his deputies in berets and jackboots is being criticized for a holiday card showing him holding Osama bin Laden's severed head under the greeting: "Happy Ramadan!!" Sheriff Gerald K. Hege said the card is simply a reflection of the times. "You've got the president asking for him dead or alive," said Hege, a Vietnam veteran whose office resembles a bunker. Some Muslims said they were insulted by the reference to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which begins this weekend. "I liked Hege as a sheriff," said Abdel Hadi, a shop owner in Winston-Salem. "But he has no business insulting 1.5 billion people." Hege said: "That's my private Christmas card. It's for a private reason and not for publicity. I do have a private life." ap.tbo.com
