There were an awful lot of people who would have been happy to take out Tim
McVey (Oklahoma City bomber) but he was well protected. Only brought out in
public when absolutely necessary and wearing a bullet-proof vest and all
that. No one took a shot at him, that I'm aware of.
I think bin Laden could be protected. Heck, just bring him straight to the
Hague. You Dutch folks can protect him then. :-)
