They're trying to spin it as Iran being in cahoots with the bin Laden's, when we've known for years that it is the Saud's and the Bush's that have been working with these people for years before 9-11.

2. I am not sure how I feel about this?

They have to live somewhere. I guess its better they aren't in the U.S.

3. Its hard to know what to make of that after all the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

:shrug:

4. So, why arn't the tea baggers outside the Saudi Embassy in DC

I believe the want their country back....

5. Yes because a culture which doesn't value women's rights...

6. You know, I heard this on the BBC this morning

and a bizarre thought hit me. Are we REALLY planning on following his children and punishing them for his (alleged) crimes? Did I miss something, and did we go back to the good old days when the law was irrelevant, and we would kill someone because they are related to someone we hate?

I think the answer is "yes." I also think that means we really don't care about the truth in this matter. If anyone here was randomly picked out by Bush to be "the enemy," their flesh and blood would be similarly tainted in the minds of "Good Americans."

8. How exactly are his children being punished?

When you're searching for a criminal, you keep tabs on his family in case he attempts to make contact. This is basic detective work. Nothing more.

10. You mean the dead criminal?

No, it was the vibe I got from this story. It was like "What are the bad seeds up to, and should we do something about it?"

[YouTakeTheSkyway]

11. He might be dead, he might not be. If he isn't, it's wise to keep an eye on his kids

and any other relatives he may, at some point, attempt to contact.

14. Following Saddam Hussien's children is how we found him

That interrogation took place on Dec 1. Over the next 13 days they rounded up 40 family members of Muhammad Ibrahim — anyone who knew him. A lead took them to a house in Baghdad on Dec. 12 — the last day of Maddox's tour in Iraq. They arrested three people — among them Muhammad Ibrahim's lieutenant. The other detainees had bags placed over their heads.

"So I was interrogating the lieutenant and eventually he said, 'I do know Muhammad Ibrahim,' Maddox recalled.

"I said, 'Where was he last night?'

"He said, 'He was at the house (where the raid had taken place).' "

Maddox thought he had escaped.

"I'm like, 'We just missed him.' And my interpreter says, 'No, he was at the house."

They had him.

"So I ran to the cell thinking he's one of these three guys," Maddox said excitedly. "So I lifted up the hoods."

They had Muhammad Ibrahim — the head of the insurgency and Saddam's right-hand man — and they hadn't even known it.

"So I looked at him and I said, 'You are Muhammad Ibrahim. I've been waiting to meet you.'

"And my translator says, 'He's been waiting to meet you too.'"

Maddox had three hours before he was to fly out of Iraq, since his tour was up. He told that to Ibrahim -- and that he had 40 of his relatives in custody and 20 more on a list to nab.

"At the end of those two hours, he did say I'll take you to him (Saddam)," Maddox said.

The task force flew him from Baghdad to the farm in Tikrit. They spent several hours looking for Saddam. Ibrahim didn't want to finger him. Eventually, he walked to the spider hole and kicked a rope.

"The special ops team members noticed it. So they backed him away and pulled it up. And there he was," Maddox said.

Muhammad Ibrahim remains in an Iraqi prison. The Special Forces team found 11.2 million dollars at his house that had been used to fund the insurgency. His family members were set free.

Maddox returned to the U.S.

Saddam Hussein was hanged on Dec. 30, 2006.

16. The family may lead us to him. Police 101

[AlphaCentauri]

7. That probably was the Iranian shield against Alq... eom

[winyanstaz]

9. All flights out of America were canceled but the family of bin laden

was allowed to fly out..without an investigation even being launched after 9-11 and that flight was authorized by BUSH and CHENEY.
So obviously..America is not after bin Laden's family and we would never stoop so low as to murder someone for being a relative of someone we hate.
Well dang, I forgot all about Saddam's family. :(
I guess we have to go to war with Iran now to bomb Osama bin laden's kid.

I guess I need to post a :sarcasm: here so that sneaky little troll that is following me around making nasty remarks won't have an excuse to jump on me again.

17. Another excuse for war with Iran ( but not Saudi Arabia even though she is technically on

Saud territory)

13. "Bin Laden's Daughter Free to Leave Tehran: Iran FM"

TEHRAN (AFP) – Osama bin Laden's daughter who has taken refuge at the Saudi mission in Tehran is free to leave Iran once her identity is confirmed, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying on Friday.

"A while ago the Saudi embassy here said the one of bin Laden's daughters is in the compound, so the foreign ministry told the embassy that based on international conventions if her identity is confirmed she can leave Iran with passage documents," ISNA quoted Mottaki as telling state television late Thursday.

...
British newspaper The Times reported 11 of bin Laden's grandchildren were also living in the high-security compound outside Tehran.

The group fled Afghanistan just before the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States and walked to the Iranian border, where they were detained and taken to the walled compound by guards, the Times said.
