>Therefore, if US declares a war on terrorism, bin Laden is a target.

No dispute there. But you sure it's a war on terrorism OR a war on terrorism AGAINST the US? BIG difference.

>If you have him in your "custody" and protect him, you place yourself at war with America. This is not justice, "American" or otherwise. This is not a criminal investigation. This is war.

So when can we expect the Pentagon to announce the SOA/CIA/Pentagon/White House heads as target? When can we expect the US to start bombing the country that have them in its custody and protection? Remember you said this is war.

If you can't see the hyprocracy in the "War on Terrorism", and the double standards, then I really have to question your mentality or your honesty.

Just look at the Taliban. How organized are they? What have OBL and his group lost? State of the arts weaponary support from Taliban? Enormous cash influx from the Taliban? Political clout from being associated with the Taliban? Or their precious caves in Afghanistan?

Seriously, enlighten me. To quote Ashton, "Sheesh!"
