libertangoDouglas Wood, Australian-born hostage in Iraq: Found. In an apparently deserted building in Baghdad. In a back room. Tied up. Under a blanket.
Saddam Hussein, fugitive leader of Iraq: Found. Protected by an entire country, and an army numbering around a million. Place where hiding: A farm, between Baghdad and Tikrit. In a hole. Ten feet underground.
Osama bin Laden, alleged perpetrator of the most deadly attack on US citizens on their own soil in sixty years. Protected by a small cadre of devoted followers, with no state support. Six feet five inches tall, face widely recognizable due to his image shown on a global scale, and suffering from health complications that make him difficult to transport.
Oddly... still not found. After nearly four years of "search".
Is he that much more difficult to capture than Saddam Hussein? Hell, is he that much more difficult to find than Douglas Wood?!
