Pakistan: "Here's How You Get Bin Laden"

Oct. 27 2008, Published 7:07 a.m. ET

Today we solemnly recall our unmet hopes for some horribly cruel fate to befall Osama Bin Laden. Appropriately enough, some experts in Bin Laden's new home of Pakistan have offered to Foreign Policy some helpful tips regarding our nation's desire to finally capture the Al Qaeda leader and ~~hammer him in the crotch repeatedly with a refinery wrench~~ bring him to justice. These Pakistani suggestions (many of which amount to "Give more stuff to Pakistan" and "Hey, how 'bout you don't try getting Bin Laden?") along with their recent election of a notorious grifter as Pakistan's prime minister, may leave you just a little bit more resigned, if that's possible anymore, to the possibility that the man responsible for the 9/11 massacre will never get that taste of U.S. gun metal he so brazenly requested. Let's check 'em out while hoping vainly that President Bush's last minute classified plan drops some accountability on the guy.
