Store owner Ahmad Khalid, who fled with his extended family, said most of the strikes by B-52 bombers were on target, but "one bomb fell on a residential area and killed three people -- two men and a woman."

His report and others could not be independently confirmed.

Fort Campbell, Kentucky, sounds familiar. Is that where the 101st Airborne originates?

[Silly]

Imagine how well you could live in Afghanistan on $25 million; probably the equivalent of a billionaire here in the U.S.

Yeah, I'd say that's incentive enough.

[patriciaruth]

And what is the HTML code for doing bullets? They are cool.

[JohnHuang2]

Yes, indeed: Check out their neat website

[patriciaruth]

Someone was reporting yesterday that the Afghanis have a very deep cultural history of protecting "guests". And even a story about a woman protecting the murderer of her son because he was a guest when the authorities came for him.

Hopefully some immoral Afghani will rat out the "guests."

Are you using the wonderful new ping window? My computer just "dinged" when you "pinged" me -- sort of a "ping ding."

You know, I really must start hanging out with a worse bunch of people! LOL

[GeekDejure]

I wonder whether any of those burqa bound babes ever considered conducting their own Million-Mom-March ???

Yeah, I'd say that's incentive enough. It seems to me that it would be likely that someone sympathetic to bin Laden's cause would turn him in for the $25 million. This being the case they may use the money to finance more attacks against the United States.

Giving money to Terrorists is a Bad Idea.

[patriciaruth]

Must be a new FR feature, or you are having auditory hallucinations. I don't know how to do bullets, let alone ring someone's chimes.

[Silly]

You, mean, the newly-wealthy bounty hunter might become a "mini-bin"?

Well, I didn't say we have to really GIVE them the money, just offer it, get bin Laden, and nuke the rat if he's a terrorist.

[Austim]

Whomever knows where bin Laden is supports his cause and we need to be very careful about the money we hand out. If money were to get in the wrong hands it would be bad news just like the $43,000,000 Bush gave to the Taliban last May was bad news.

One of my daughters best 'guy friends' is stationed there!!!! Hope he gets to see him!

If that reward gets much bigger, I'm tempted to go over there and find the scumbag myself!!!!
