A California man is held by Pakistani authorities as he was claiming to be hunting Osama bin Laden

He had a pistol, dagger and a sword and was carrying night-vision equipment as well as Christian literature.

Our own Rambo with a Christian twist, this is awesomeness on a whole nother level.

When I first read that story, the first thing that popped in my mind was, "Belly went and got arrested in Pakistan!"

My favorite headline on it so far:
Gary Brooks Faulkner: 'American ninja' hunting Osama bin Laden
http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-South-Central/2010/0615/Gary-Brooks-Faulkner-American-ninja-hunting-Osama-bin-Laden

This is almost Chuck Norris level awesomeness lol.

Hypocrisy in it's finest right here on this thread. All of you would treat this totally different if some Muslim came to America and "hunted" for George W. Bush because he unjustly killed millions in Iraq, but it's perfectly ok for one of us to do it to them. Such a bully culture in America, it's no wonder we shoot first and ask questions later.

Last I checked W didn't mastermind flying planes into buildings and calling for the fall of a nation.

I actually don't like what the guy did. If he wanted to hunt for OBL, join the military. Freelance is dangerous and he easily could have gotten killed. Plus, add in the religious element and the guy sounds like a nut.

No. Bush ordered in military tanks, airplanes and warships and called for the fall of Iraq. Totally different.

As an evangelical Christian I wholeheartedly agree. He's as nuts as the radical Osama Bin Laden led radical Islamic nuts who masterminded the 9/11 insanity. We need this guy in a U.S. military uniform where his zeal can be tempered and channeled by military officers and non-com's.

despite the ratiionalization or attempt to draw moral equivalency of some, the death of osama bin laden is something to be hoped for.

Not from some crazy guy though.

From our troops. Or better yet the Pakistani or Afghanistan(i?) military. Not some crazy douche.

They did come to America, hunted George Bush, hijacked an airplane, but then were stopped by the efforts of the passengers and crew. According to you those Americans must have been part of our bully culture.
