Make bin Laden look over his shoulder... Dave Winer: "Heard on NPR yesterday, an account of how bin Laden's organization was infiltrated by an Egyptian secret service agent and prevented the destruction of the Holland Tunnel in NY a few years ago. One thing that came out in the report was this agent's motivation -- money. We paid him $1 million to work for us. The individuals in the terrorist organizations like money. So instead of spending $40 billion to do the linear thing, going to war, why not have a fund for terrorists who turn against their leaders? We have lots of cash. It's a good tool to return the terror. Spread this meme. Make bin Laden look over his shoulder. Make him wonder about everyone around him. $40 billion could go a long way. Isn't that an interesting idea? $1 million can buy lots of Nikes and Big Macs."

I think this sounds better than another Viet Nam where we start trying to bomb some third world victims even further toward the stone age and place our military in a situation they probably (based on historical experience) can't win. Bin Laden doesn't appear to be afraid of us. But what about his own ruthless and unscrupulus kind? RETURN THE TERROR.
