If at first you don't succeed at killing Osama bin Laden (armed with a pistol, sword, Christian literature and night-vision goggles), try, try again.
Gary Brooks Faulkner, who was captured in Pakistan in June while on a solo mission to whack bin Laden, says he's not giving up. He plans to go back to Pakistan, to finish what he started.

Faulkner, who was found with a gun, a sword, night goggles, and Christian literature, was not charged by Pakistani authorities but instead returned to the U.S. It was his seventh trip to the country, he said, on a hunt for bin Laden.
"How does one go about trying to find Osama bin Laden?" asked the interviewer.

"Gary's an adult," said Scott Faulkner, a Colorado doctor, on the Today show this morning. "And he wasn't harming anyone else, he was not engaged in illegal activity. So the rest of us felt, if that's what he needed to do, that's what he needed to do."
