Downsize Osama

Well, I don't often suggest contacting the White House (unless it's to ask 'em if they have Prince Albert in a can) but OKPartisan over on Blue Dot Blog makes a strong case for getting rid of the reward on Osama bin Laden's head. OKPartisan says she's all festered up with a recent Thomas Friedman column in The New York Times regarding the bin Laden reward and how it actually helps his reputation in the Arab world. We think both Friedman and OKPartisan make good sense on this count (not that we don't think they always make good sense, mind you).
