I stumbled upon this and found it really odd that it doesn't list the attacks on 9/11 as reason for him being wanted. So I was just wondering why that might be,

I'm also wondering what you guys think about the fact that the reward for him equals that of Al Zarqawi. Do you think that is justified if OBL is responsible for all the deaths on 9/11?

Just wondering.....

And then two more things.

Why isn't Zarqawi on the top wanted terrorist list?

And why isn't this man wanted for terrorism?

Well, the Usama poster was first released in 1999, and it says it was revised in November 2001. I would guess that the only thing on it that was revised was the addition of the supplementary reward offered by the pilots association. Just supposition on my part. As for Zarqawi, I have no idea why he's not on the most wanted list. Maybe the feds still consider the others more dangerous? Or maybe updating the website isn't of the utmost importance these days? I don't know, so I"m just offering guesses.

I don't know why San Diego isn't listed as a terrorist, he obviously is. There must be a reason of some sort for it, although maybe not a good or compelling one. You could always write to the FBI and ask them.

In one neighborhood around here a little after 9/11, a newspaper was reporting the cops putting up wanted posters for Bin Laden. Asking people with information to call in. As if they suspected he was hanging around NJ.

Nobody would comment if they thought he was in the neighborhood, citing 'ongoing investigation' or something to that effect.

I just found it really interesting that 9/11 is not at all mentioned in list of crimes he is accused of. And I also found it really weird how little people have talked about the fact that the U.S. is offering equal amounts of money for Zarqawi and OBL. That just sounds odd to me. Why offer the same amount of money for a man that killed 4000+ innocent civilians in an unprovoked attack as for the man that is taking part in the resistance(or terrorism/insurgency or whatever you'd call it) in Iraq. Just makes it look like OBL isn't the most wanted man in this WoT. And that just somehow feels wrong since OBL is alledgedly responsible for 3000+ American lives.

I would give you my thoughts about that but I think you already know why I think he isn't on the list of terrorists

I think that's because the actual source of the money comes from two different places.

The Military is behind the Zarqawi hunt. The CIA is mainly behind the OBL hunt.

Each decided.

THEN they entered the FBI most wanted list.

But before they were named, the purse was already set.
