I'd be surprised if Bin Laden could be taken alive... he appears to be a geuine religious maniac, I think his hateful crusade is more valuable to him than his own life... and he understand, as everyone must, that in death he will be a matyr to his cause. I remember reading one of his alleged announcements, when he basically said "of course I will be killed, America is a super power, but when you kill 1000 new Usama's are created."
Stories that he has been captured for over a year and Bush is going to "unveil" him just before election have been going around for so long I think thye could even have a negative effect - if he WAS captured in the next month it would almost be a negative for Bush because so many people would see the cynical angle... and ultimately, if he is or is not captured - this does not change the basic reasons why I believe Bush should not be re-elected and why I believe most people who vote Kerry will vote that way.
And if Bin Laden was dead, I think we would all know about it, I have a feeling he is not going to go quietly when he goes.
