Just noise. Not worth 2 seconds of consideration.

Have you seen Danny Glover's (the actor) comments??

Seems to me it would be better to kill Osama in battle. A formal execution or imprisonment would be sure to stir up trouble.

Actor Glover: Spare bin Laden's Life
Friday November 16 1:17 PM ET

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) - Danny Glover has called on the United States government to spare the life of Osama bin Laden, even if he is found guilty of being involved in terrorist acts.

Glover, who starred in ``The Color Purple'' and the ``Lethal Weapon'' movies, made the comments Thursday during an anti-death penalty forum at Princeton University, The Trentonian of Trenton reported in Friday's editions.

``When I say the death penalty is inhumane, I mean (it) whether that person is in a bird cage (jail) or bin Laden,'' the 54-year-old actor told the crowd.

He also criticized the government for detaining hundreds of immigrants after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and for seeking permission to listen to conversations between suspected terrorists and their lawyers.

``This clearly is a slippery slope,'' Glover said. ``We must stand vigilant against (President) Bush in these times.''

The event was sponsored by the Mercer County chapter of Amnesty International, which opposes the death penalty.
