Gary Faulkner, the American who got arrested in Pakistan carrying a gun, a sword, night goggles and a Christian literature on a personal hunt for Osama bin Laden, says he actually got within firing range of bin Laden.

And how exactly do you go about trying to find bin Laden?

“You don’t. You let the spirit guide you and unless you have the spirit of God, not the Mother Mary or some Mohammad or something like that. God almighty has to put his hand on you. I’ve been protected.”

So the spirit guides you to some Arab guy who looks like bin Laden and you whip out the sword. Amazing the Pakistanis don’t want this guy following the spirit around the country.
