...perplexed that we never suggest the most likely hideout for bin Laden--Saudi Arabia. Where do you go when there is no place left to go? You go home!

...Bin Laden would have been caught ages ago if media and government leaks did not warn him and his followers of every strategy the allies are using to try to catch him.

...Several readers were concerned that the cover image of bin Laden's faded visage floating in a field of white might convey something other than his uncanny elusiveness. "Maybe you were trying to suggest a ghostly image," granted one woman, "but, in fact, the cover gives a very heavenly, angelic appearance to this monster." "The background should have been red and yellow," suggested an upstate New York reader, "to symbolize the blood of thousands of innocent victims and the fire of hatred he has ignited among his followers." And a Massachusetts woman felt an urge known to so many schoolchildren...
