Bin Laden Hideout Revealed By Man Who Delivered Groceries- Promised Al-Qa'ida's Wives If They Die

I'm sorry, but if I had a top secret hide-out, I would NOT be having groceries delivered.

What WOULD you do? Bin Laden is not calling up his local Stop & Shop and placing phone orders. He is not buying on-line from Peapod.com (if they're still around).

He has (correction, had) close relationships with local people who either grow or sell food and who would bring it to the complex. Obviously, the food needs to be physically brought in to the complex somehow. I don't think bin Laden has transporter-beam technology that could just zap the food into his lair a la Star Trek.

Washington is now considering using giant "daisy cutter" bombs which ignite a cloud of fuel vapour, creating a fireball to suck oxygen from the caves — and suffocate anyone caught inside.

This works for me.

Send a little herd of Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs into the cave network. They are fast, smart, omnivorous, and unclean even if they are killed. And I'm sure that Al Qa'ida guys won't want to die in a cave full of pigs, dead or alive.
