...Political Thought, suggested that America should be careful to capture bin Laden alive [VIEWPOINT, March 17]. Such advice is offensive. Whether he is captured dead or alive is the decision of bin Laden, not the U.S. It was bin Laden, the son of a wealthy father, who chose to murder innocent people. Do not insult his poor followers by suggesting he is one of them. Absolutely not. He is educated. He had opportunities and privileges that most of them will never be offered. He made his own decision. Bin Laden wanted a war, and now he's got it. DOUG...

Qusay earned his stripes helping to suppress a Shi'ite rebellion in Iraq's south soon after the first Gulf War, overseeing the murder of thousands of civilians. Impressed, Saddam reportedly put his son, then 25, in charge of concealing illegal weapons from the first team of U.N. inspectors, and afterward gave him the leadership of a select security corps called the Special Security Organization, whose members were recruited mostly from the Hussein family's tribe. In short order, Qusay joined Iraq's top governing body, the Revolutionary Command Council...
...Iraq's military toppled the monarchy in 1958, mobs dragged the mutilated bodies of the regent and Prime Minister through Baghdad's streets and hanged them from city gates. Saddam himself tried--but failed--to assassinate the leader of the coup, Abdul Karim Qaseem. And when Baath plotters did murder Qaseem five years later, his bullet-riddled corpse was shown to the nation on Iraqi...
