WASHINGTON - US spy chiefs ordered agents to deliver Osama bin Laden's severed head in a box of dry ice and hoist heads of other Al-Qaeda leaders on pikes, a retired field officer has disclosed.
As America reeled in shock days after the September 11 attacks in 2001, former CIA officer Gary Schroen was sent to Afghanistan to help the opposition Northern Alliance to topple bin Laden's hosts the Taliban.
He told National Public Radio (NPR) in an interview broadcast on Monday and Tuesday that he stopped by the office of then Director of the CIA counter-terrorism center Cofer Black for final instructions.
He was told : "'your basic marching orders are to link up with the Northern Alliance and get their cooperation military and they will take on the Taliban.
"'When we break the Taliban, your job is to capture bin Laden, kill him and bring his head back in a box full of dry ice.'"

Encase it in lucite, and put it on display in the Smithsonian.
He'll walk into the Peshwar 7-11 and ask for "1 picnic cooler, some dry ice and a strawberry slurpee".
Where would he get dry ice in Afganistan? Does Babelfish know what dry ice is?
"'When we break the Taliban, your job is to capture bin Laden, kill him and bring his head back in a box full of dry ice.'
And that is wrong because?
This is just sick. Everyone with any culture knows it's incomplete unless it's surrounded with a garnish of parsley and perhaps a few slices of lemon. No wonder the Euros think we're barbarians. Sheesh!
... it's a waste of dry ice.
No, no! You have to have a Red Delicious apple stuck in Bin Laden's mouth, and let it simmer over hot coals. Then it would be complete!
I don't believe this story. It was probably said as a knee jerk but it's a joke. Dramatic effect achieved.
The dry ice might vaporize in transit, and bin Laden's mishapen conk would stink more than usual!
And can you get me one of those Burritos too please?
Thanks.
... after analysis and preservation, it will be put on display, mounted on a pike at the Pentagon.
For years to come, it will be also be used as the final paintball sniper's target in the U.S. Army Rangers' annual "Whop! Thar' 'Tis" Shindig Beer Bash.
... it's a waste of dry ice.
LOL! My sentiments exactly.
...garnnished with bacon.

I think they are the Barbarians; haven't they been plagued with wars and Imperialism and Eastern Euro Kaos for centuries.
Don't forget as of late the French were killing on the Ivory Coast. French Foreign Legion had a field day.
As well, It's my understanding that Eiro-Land is filled with liberal States that will off you in the hospital - give you the Kovorkian fix.
I know them to think that Americans are Conservatives who fear Boobs, nudity on TV.
Put him in Carbonite like Hans Solo.
Sounds about right to me.
Not a bad idea. But how do you get the fish to hold still?
I do multi!! (BHD)
Sounds like the Turks are projecting.
Not a bad idea, though.
C
wow....and I thought the NYTimes was bad about making things up....
lol
Not to mention a nice dry Chianti and some fava beans.
Do you know about this?
GO... Porter Goss....
Hopefully, the clerk won't get any of those mixed up.
I can just imagine Dubya hoisting the skull of OBL at the podium in the house O' Congress. Or at a press conference at the White House, then toss it to some waiting (very hungry) dogs as their mid day snack.
It might actually get coverage in the MSM.
Maybe.
Over the shoulder, like this:
Somebody had a good idea.
Yeah, and what the hell is wrong with that? If he had been able to aquire the head, it should be taken to a taxidermist, preserved, and shipped to every corner of the US so everyone can see the face of evil. Once everyone has seen it we send it down here to Arizona for Cinco de Mayo to be used as a pinata!!
It will unless it is refrigerated to close to zero.
It not, it boils to gas, seeps through out the aircraft, suffocates the crew, plane crashes.
You're kinda thread!
It would be nicer if it was brought home in any state of decay!
Isn't London Bridge now stationed in the Southwest? I'll supply a nasty old pike.
Don't forget the Slim Jims too!
Its a little worse then that.
Check on the methodology of why they can claim such low infant mortality rates (you can check opinionjournal).
Barbarians.
"US spy chiefs ordered agents to deliver Osama bin Laden's severed head in a box of dry ice and hoist heads of other Al-Qaeda leaders on pikes, a retired field officer has disclosed. "
and then the pikes should be placed at the borders and ports of entry to the USA.
Yep!

Typical NPR. Absolutely no concept of manhood or leadership or common parlance. The statement was not a specific and explicit command. Like "Find him and kick his ass", that doesn't acctually mean "apply boot to buttock".
I would actually prefer it on a bed of fava beans with a nice chianti.
Never played black hawk down. I had my doubts about this story as well
I saw some of the soldiers on tv, apparently, confirming the events. (? )
Actually, I'd like to see it on display, sitting in or in some way physically connected with lard (or any pork product), in a special shrine in the center of whatever we build where the WTC used to stand.
