It is important to keep in mind that thousands of Osama Bin Lookalikes have been activated, and this could confuse the issue.

The Osama Bin Lookalike is a highly advanced android or robot that looks exactly like Osama Bin Laden. Al Queda released several thousand of these androids worldwide, prior to Sep 11th, in order to make it difficult for American agents to locate the real Osama Bin Laden.

The Osama Bin Lookalikes wander around, quoting from the Koran, and encouraging people to attack the USA by any means possible. They order 750 pizzas from Pizza Hut and have them delivered to the White House at 3 AM. They take down American flags and replace them with flags that have the 50 stars upsidedown and in reverse order. They catch bald Eagles in live traps, dye their head feathers dayglo red and release them back into the wild. They gather in coffee shops and make rude jokes about George W. Bush. They are extremely subversive, if not terribly imaginative.

This is going to make it very hard to find the actual Osama himself, and may end up costing untold billions of dollars.

The really weird thing though, is that none of the androids has even been found yet...

On the bright side, their batteries will eventually wear down, and then it should be much easier to catch them. Expect some solid progress on this by at least June 2002.
