Op/Ed: Osama bin Laden must be a top priority for the White House

By Edward Campbell

Missoula, March 8 (Al-Masakin)–Killing or capturing Osama bin Laden must be a top priority for the White House, yet we have heard little or nothing from either the White House or the State Department in this regard. 

Considering the critical nature of the threat posed by al Qaeda, which committed the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington,  it appears to Al-Masakin that moving forward against that terrorist entity as quickly as possible is in the national security interest of the United States. 

The State Department has said barely anything on this issue and the American people are beginning to wonder whether America’s leadership has lost its resolve to bring the most dangerous criminal on Earth to justice as soon as possible. 

According to my sources, Osama bin Laden is in a ‘safe-zone’ in Western Pakistan.  

I have also seen a report that there has been a study by two geographers Thomas Gillespie and John Agnew of the UCLA who reportedly have exploited the genius of the American mind to pinpoint his location and from what I understand there are a number of NSEP projects moving forward and a great amount of untapped enthusiasm in this country to move forward more aggressively on this issue.

Considering the urgency of this matter it seems rather odd that we have not heard from the White House reports of any progress.

I think its important to move forward on this issue as quickly as possible and to investigate every lead.

I think the press can be helpful in this regard as well.  America is still a land of patriots who are ready, willing and able to defend American lives from transnational threats like al Qaeda to the best of our abilities and are at your service.

Yours truly,
