* There is some question for you as to whether the attacks on the U.S. Sept 11, 2001, were by international terrorists?

* There is some question for you as to whether bin Laden was involved with international terrorism?

* There is some question for you as to whether international terrorism needs to be dealt with, swiftly and permanently?

* You need bin Laden's fingerprints on the controls of the passenger jets that slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a remote field in Pennsylvania? -- to be photographed giving his kamikaze pilots a loving sendoff? -- to have him holding gun to your head? -- or perhaps holding the trigger switch for a hefty load of explosives at the school your own children might be attending?

His record speaks for him just fine. There are no degrees of right for illegal terrorist operations, sp (yes, some terrorist operations are legal).

As I stated above, all illegal terrorists are equally guilty, if not in deed, then clearly in support, clearly in want, clearly in threat, and clearly in compliance.

For the majority, that seems to be good enough,
