Going a little off topic here - this is why I think it's better that we (at least the public) *don't* know the exact whereabouts or status of Osama. If the bad guys are executed, they become martyrs for their cause and thus inspirational. If they go free, they continue to inspire their followers through their defiance and by remaining at large. Incarceration is probably the best option, although not without risk - for it might encourage the legions they have inspired to further violence in the name of those held "captive."
