Is Osama Supposed to Be Killed or Captured During the Dem Convention?

That's what this article in The New Republic, pointed out to us by Buzzflash, seems to imply. And this, of course, raises the question that if they could target him during one specific period, why has Mr. Bush let Osama walk about for just shy of three years?

Hell, while I would love to see him captured and stand trial (I know, ridiculous notion I have that people are innocent until proven guilty), I suspect the circumstances may add up against us if we do kill or capture Osama now. It would be a potent symbol to the extremists who would respond in kind.
