I've always thought secret services are specialists in this field. Therefor
they can be mislead so easily because in the field of information the laws
of entropy are reversed. As I am representing ACHTUNG in this pynchonesque
cyberworld I take your truly pynchonesque last sentence as a compliment. May
I use it as a postscript?

But I still have problems (as I have always had) hearing someone wishing the
death of another, even if it is an assumed monster as bin Laden. Without
having seen any written evidence on his guilt yet I'm sure the world would
be better off without him but I don't wish his death.

If I may take up the "wild-west" rhetoric Mr. Bush has been criticised for
(unjustified imo) the Taliban are playing poker on a very high and dangerous
level, by taking their own people and what we call the "Arabian masses" in
account. Thus I hope that Mr. Bush really has got the better cards as he'd
promised. Several people who claim to have a better knowledge of the "East"
are warning that all this could be a giant trap and we really could become
witnesses of the next world war.

Religion & Politics, a deadly mixture.
