I wonder. But obviously, it's too early to even speculate. If the goal is to find Bin Laden, do you think the American people would support these tactics?

<<I think this sort of "independent" operation raises all kinds of issues about how we are really "doing business" in the region. Who was paying them? Who are they working for? Who do they report to? What are they authorized to do and to whom? Have we entered the era of clandestine death and torture squads?>> You ever think they might be independents? Twenty-five million bucks for bin Laden dead or alive. A local ex Green Beret went to Afghanistan when the Russians were there to test Russian weapons on Russians for articles for Soldier of Fortune magazine. Spent two years there. Must not be all that hard to get into or out of.
