Forums: What should be done with captured al Qaeda fighters?

Anti-Taliban forces have given holed-up al Qaeda forces until 10:30 PM EST tonight to surrender or face a major attack. The Alliance is claiming that the remaining al Qaeda fighters have been corralled into a 1.5 square mile area. Tonight may mark the beginning of the end of the war in Afghanistan. But unless al Qaeda agrees to surrender, the final battle may take place underground in Osama bin Laden's cave complex.

This hour, a look inside the caves of Tora Bora where it is believed Osama bin Laden is hiding out. What do these underground tunnels look like? How hard will it be for the anti-Taliban forces to invade...and will we be able to find bin Laden in this underground labyrinth?

The Crystal Ball of Paul Saffo Listen

On September 11th, everything about the future seemed uncertain. Three months later, many of the more extreme early fears have been allayed. But many questions remain about the future: Will the economy ever recover? Which of the changes brought about by September 11th will become permanent fixtures in our lives? How will the memory of the attacks linger in American culture and society?

Paul Saffo makes his living at predicting trends in the economy, technology, and society for American businesses. This hour, one of the nation's most prominent futurists gives us a look inside his crystal ball at what America can expect over the next decade.
