Bush: I Will Not Rest Until I Have Hunted Down Osama Bin Laden's Chauffeur
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - Osama bin Laden's chauffeur was formally charged Tuesday at the first U.S. military tribunal to convene since World War II, and the defendant's lawyer quickly challenged the panel's ability to serve and questioned the proceeding's fairness.

Hamdan, who was not shackled and wore a flowing white robe, smiled occasionally as he listened to an Arabic interpreter through headphones, even after hearing charges that could bring life in prison: conspiracy to commit war crimes, including attacking civilians, murder and terrorism. He isn't charged with any specific violent act.

Hamdan and three other men being arraigned this week face charges that could bring life in prison, but other detainees could face the death penalty.

We're going to smoke him or his chauffeur out of their caves!

"We had Osama bin Laden cornered in the mountains of Tora Bora. Rather than deploy the 10th Mountain Division or the 101st Airborne or the Marines, rather than use the best military in the world to go kill the world's number-one terrorist, what did we do? This administration held them back. They sent the Afghans up into the mountains who a week earlier had been on the other side, and they let him escape.

I think that I can fight a far more effective war on terror."

-John Kerry, Meet The Press (4/19/04)

2. Getting his driver is a little bit anticlimatic, isn't it?

3. What about bin Laden's valet? He's really dangerous with those shoes.
