| | | I think Osama bin laden is dead
As of 4: 40 P.M. Central time on October 11, 2001, I think Osama bin laden is dead or captured. As you know, Bush will be making a Press confrence tonight. I beleive he will tell us that bin Laden is either dead or captured. Why would he call a conference to tell us what we already know? The FBI has also made a statement that more terrorist attacks are likeley wihin the next few days. I think this is because Osama's supporters will get pissed that he is dead. Anyway...we shall see. |

| | | The FBI and other people have been announcing since about a week ago or more I believe that they are 100% certain that another terrorist attack with happen in the US before October is over. I heard it on WCBS Newsradio 88 on the way upstate last week.

| | | I hope its true that Bin Laden is dead. Even if he has been killed there is still his large network or terrosrist and follers left. If bin laden were killed they would see him as a martyr and still attack us for revenge. |

| | | That's good that bin Laden is dead or captured! He's such an idiot! I do not like the idea of another terrorist strike. I wonder what it would be this time? I don't wanna think about it. Too scary. One thing sucks about him being dead, though: now he's a martyr for his cause. All his followers will think he's the highest now since he died for his cause! They might also try to get revenge or something now and that could be the second wave of attacks. This is insane. What is happening to our world?!

| | | Sorry to stomp on your hopes, but I do not believe this. He is hiding deep in some hidden caves, and besides, killing him is not our main priority. Our main priority is to fight terrorism. It would be great if he was dead, but I just don't think he is.

| | | Funny...all of you assume Bin laden is dead. Kraken said, "I think he is dead." I have not seen any news sites that have confirmed this. I just hope that the terrorist strikes do NOT occur. That is one thing that scares me, and before this, nothing really has. |

| | | Sorry guys, but the press conference is just to keep us updated on what is happening. If the guy was dead I'm quite sure we would have heard about it already. Wishful thinking, but not yet.
As for a terrorist attack in the US as repercusion, yes it is possible, and likely planned, but they are taking steps way beyond anything they have before to prevent it. I'm certainly not worried about it happening at this point. And the key is to continue doing what we would be doing anyways. To do otherwise is to give the terrorists the exact victory that they are hoping for.

| | | I agree with Sir Willow -- the purpose tonight is most likely just to keep us updated on what has happened, what is happening now, and what the President intends to do in the next few weeks.
Personally, while I think additional attacks are quite likely, I don't think they will yet be in the US again -- more likely on embassies or other US territory abroad, where security measures are not quite what they can be here. But I will be most gratified to not have any more attacks happen at all, but we shall see.

| | | Yeah, it is probably just to keep us updated, but oh how I'd love to hear that we'd captured him. |

| | | Nevermind...looks like my prediction was wrong. I never said he was dead, I just thought he might be. In my opinion the best thing to do would be to capture him, and bury him out in a desert. Then, say that we haven't killed or captured him, so it looks to his supporters that he ran away like a coward.

If there is retaliation, it probably won't be in the U.S. Bin Laden may be a twisted freak, but he's not stupid enough to try to attack us at this time where we react instantaneously to something that we wouldn't even care about before September 11. But I'm not so sure about the U.S. Today, the local paper said Britain could be a likely target, and with security there not as tight as it is in the U.S., it could happen. But I hope that we can disable the terrorist network before it causes any more damage.
