Do you think the United States will catch up with Osama bin Laden?

"My father retired from the CIA after 18 years. My brother retired from the CIA after 27 years. They should discredit his name first. Don't make him into a martyr. Cut off his funding, whether it's from his family or from other sources, and then the man himself will not matter."

"I think we will eventually catch up with him, because we've increased our ability to try and catch terrorists. . . . I do worry about (terrorist attacks). Yesterday, I was riding the shuttle bus at the university, and some Arabic people were getting on. I couldn't help feeling uneasy. I wondered about why they're here. Are they studying? Are they going back to their home country?"

"My initial reaction is: We may never catch him. He's so elusive with all the underground buildings he has created. He's got these bomb-proof shelters. If we do get hold of him, will that mean the end of terrorism? No. I don't think it will. Other people might carry on (with terrorist tactics). My son went to Kosovo and my son-in-law went to Kuwait and then into Baghdad. Luckily, they're safe."

"Yeah, I hope they can catch him. I think the chances are good as long as they continue to have the means and the effort to do so. Absolutely, I worry about him planning future terrorist attacks. I manage high-rise office buildings. That's always a threat. They struck the office building industry really hard. That hasn't gone away."

Bruce Lyman

"Yes, I think they will catch him but not any time soon. But sooner or later, I think they will, because we're willing to put the time and effort into it. I don't think we're going to leave Afghanistan until we've accomplished that or as long as Bush is president. I don't worry about future terrorist attacks. He's not going to blow up the ZCMI Mall."

"I'm a Navy brat, and I'm ex-Army. I served in the Army for two years . . . as far as bin Laden is concerned, they're going about it the wrong way. They're too deep in trying to rebuild Iraq when the Iraqis don't want them there. (The search) is too public, too open. . . . We're too heavily invested in Iraq. Bin Laden is a bigger problem than the rebuilding of Iraq."
