Not in President Bush’s vocabulary. According to The Washington Post, “a search of the White House Web site indicates Bush has not made an unprompted mention of bin Laden’s name since March 8. That day, at a GOP gathering in Florida, the president spoke of ‘this bin Laden fellow,’ and vowed: ‘We’re going to find him.’ The last time Bush spoke the hated name in any public forum was a July 8 press conference, in which he was specifically asked if he would find bin Laden.”

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. In 1983, after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, I went to Brussels as a copy editor for The Wall Street Journal/Europe. I left the Journal in 1985 to write for The New York Times and The International Herald Tribune, covering NATO and the European Union. In 1987 I moved to Seoul, South Korea, where I wrote primarily for The Washington Post. After three years in Asia I moved to Budapest to cover Eastern Europe and the Balkans. I spent most of 1992 and 1993 covering the war in Bosnia for the Post.
