#4 This is already on Page 2, with a comment from the poster as well. Different links, but the articles are not substantially different.

#5 You're right. I started looking at page 1 and didn't check page 2. Aarrrgh. Now Emily will start teasing me again about the 'no duplicates' policy.

#11 I smell rats, here. While Osama ol' boy wouldn't know it, the "drug lords" would. First of all, you're talking distributing a huge amount of cocaine without interdiction, down to street level. Second, all the major US cities get bad batches of drugs all the time, they're used to it, and get the word out to users and dealers pretty effectively. Third, cocaine is unusual in that it has two markets: powder for the rich and crack for the poor. Dealers of powder do *not* want to sell bad product to rich people--they would come up with a test very quickly to maintain quality assurance. This leaves crack, most consumed by the very lowest classes in the US. As a country, would the US even mind, or even notice, if we lost a few thousand crack addicts?

#12 Mass casualties in drug addicts would not be an effective way for Binny to create terror in the general populace. The general populace would not give a rat's behind about addicts' massive dieoffs. Just one of those plans in the universe of ideas that did not go anywhere.

#13 Let me guess - after this operation, bin Laden's next big thing would have been to destroy large sections of the Bronx.

#14 How would Bin Laden meet with Colombian drug cartel members in the first place?

#15 If Binny's got all the Heroin from Afghanistan as the article says why not just use that, he got some love for the smack that he can't pollute it and send it to the heathen Americans?

There are all sorts of ludicrosities in this article. 1 that Binny has to meet with the Columbians to actually buy cocaine directly from the cartels. That's stupid, he could have bought all he wanted through a proxy and done what he damn well wnted with it. Is there some questionnaire you have to fill out to buy from the cartels these days? Mother's maiden name, source of income, last large shipment of cocaine you received and 3 references? Oh and I forgot, two forms of picture ID.

But to follow a previous line of thought, why kill the most useless members of a society? To scare the rest of us? Whatever, Phuck the crackheads, good riddance. This might actually save us money when we don't have to spend healthcare dollars on them. I think we need to file this one under B for bullshit.

#16 Nobody's convincing me that OBL traveled to Colombia in 2002 or even dared to receive visitors from Colombia.

#18 Methinks this plan might invoke the law of unintended consequence. Cocaine usage might be a touch higher in areas of Blue America than Red. End result might not be to Osama's favour.
