See how crazy this gets?
Why should killing him secretly to prevent his martyrdom make any sense when his myth of survival fuels the movement?
If his followers maintain Osama is free and alive, and the US could prove them wrong, it would be a significant moral blow to the Islamists. It would be a victory for Bush policy.
If they keep releasing messages from him that reveals cells? That might prove to be more of a victory than having a boat captured and blown up in a failed ransom attempt. There is no victory in holding him and executing him. He is more powerful as a martyr.
