'Osama to be handed to US if caught in Pak'

[rodbarnett]

Islamabad: Pakistan Monday indicated that it will hand over Osama bin Laden to the United States if he is caught on its soil.
The comment from Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmud Kasuri followed a British newspaper report that bin Laden, the head of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, was cornered in a remote part of northern Pakistan.

Kasuri said that an amnesty offered by President Pervez Musharraf, where foreigners surrendering in Pakistan will not be handed over to any power, would not apply to bin Laden.

If "somebody had committed a crime against the United States that is separate issue", he said.

1. If they know where he is and have not handcuffed him...

then it means that Pakistan is cooperating with the U.S.

If they know where he is and haven't picked him up...
then it means that they're saving him - OR -

OR - they're waiting to see if he succumbs to his disease or the hideout conditions - so they don't have to embarass everyone in the 'Bush-Bin Laden family'.

Ever wonder where they're going to put him when he is caught if he doesn't pass on? How about Saudi Arabia - a little prison for receiving visitors, hot water, soul food, cashmere robe.

4. This is news?

If Pakistan caught Bin Laden and didn't hand him over to the US, then something is seriously wrong. Musharaff would have to start submitting resumes ASAP. Why is this news?
