A Man and a Mission

Gary Brooks Faulkner was being questioned in Pakistan for what has been discovered to be a single-man mission to kill Osama bin Laden. 

"We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden," Khan said. But when officers found weapons, including a 40-inch sword and a pistol as well as night-vision equipment, "our suspicion grew."

According to this article, Faulkner believed that it would be much easier for a single man to search for Bin Laden. His rational was that a single man could blend in and, obtain information from locals much easier.

He is a US citizen that was on a mission. He does have a previous criminal record and, is now a Christian. It turns out he needs kidney dialysis so, he was examined in Pakistan as well. It was relatives that pointed the authorities in finding him because, they were concerned that he needed treatment.

Well, the guy does have a point. Maybe it would be easier for just one man to take Bin Laden out. Interesting.
