but we should stop pussy-footing around with these middle men and just go ahead and offer the job to Bin Laden.

Just think of the advantage:

1. We can stop spending all those resources on finding him and apply them to the real threat that was always Iraq. His salary, however astronomical, will be miniscule compared to the costs of the hunt.

2. He will get the best Al Queda intelligence. No more of these speculative color alerts that have jaded the public. When he says Orange, he'll mean Orange.

3. He can help us smoke out the foreign agents and infiltrators in the U.S. by hiring them for the department where we can keep an eye on them. And being green-carders at best, they won't be insisting on their union rights and enforcing labor laws. Another Bush Administration goal fulfilled.
