Bin Laden branded `virtually impotent'
WASHINGTON - Seemingly taunting Osama bin Laden, President Bush's homeland security adviser said Sunday the fugitive al-Qaida leader is "virtually impotent" beyond his ability to hide away and spread anti-American propaganda.

====================
I'd say the administration has lost it again. It's not the fact that he has to hide, it's that he is a living martyr to many. He doesn't have to say a thing to get attention, his message has been loud and clear since he started.
The message, despite what most of us believe, its not to destroy the west, its to stop fugging with the middle east and propping up repressive regimes. Plus slowing down oil production and increasing the price so his people still have a life 100 years from now.
I think he has a point.
I don't like what he's doing, but then again, no one in the west is listening. Can you blame him?
Peace
Jim
