Bin Laden Vows Never to Be Captured Alive

One could argue that old Binny is doing all that he can to stay relevant and in the press. Lose your star appeal Osama and what happens. By the way, as far as the Shack is concerned we are happy to have your dead carcass dropped in an unmarked grave to be erased from memory forever.
"CAIRO, Egypt Feb 20, 2006 (AP)— Osama bin Laden vowed never to be captured alive and said the U.S. military had become as "barbaric" as Saddam Hussein in an audiotape reposted on a militant Islamic Web site after first being broadcast last month.

In the tape posted to the Web site Monday, bin Laden offered the United States a long-term truce but also said his al-Qaida terror network would soon launch a fresh attack on American soil. The tape was initially broadcast Jan. 19 on Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab satellite channel.

Islamic militant Web forums often repost messages from al-Qaida leaders to ensure sympathizers can see them. U.S. intelligence officials confirmed that last month's tape was of bin Laden making it his first message in more than a year.

"I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don't want to die humiliated or deceived," bin Laden said, in the 11-minute, 26-second tape."

How free can he be? I mean, where has he been holed up all this time? It's not like he's running around going to the movies or popping out to the nearest deli... get out there, Binnie- experience some real freedom!
