A Manhunt Ends

Recently captured Olympics bombing suspect Eric Rudolph was placed on the FBI's most wanted list back in 1998. Hundreds of agents and tens of thousands of man hours were devoted to tracking this killer down. Helicopters equiped with infrared sensors were brought in to scour the mountains of North Carolina. Countless search teams with bloodhounds were repeatedly sent into the remote reaches of the area. Reward money was offered and the elusive Rudolph's picture was plastered everywhere. All told, tens of millions of dollars were spent on the effort. Still, the elusive killer remained at large. And for over five long years he continued to frustrate his pursuers.

Until Saturday.

Despite the tens of millions of dollars devoted to his capture, it was a lone rookie cop named Jeffrey Postell who finally caught Rudolph. No final showdown, no high speed pursuit, no dramatic shootout. Postell was simply out on routine patrol at 4 A.M. when he spotted what he thought was a homeless guy rummaging through a garbage dumpster. And thus ended one of the largest, most expensive manhunts in history.

Forget the hundreds of thousands of troops still in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bring home all the Special Forces guys. Convert the navy into cruise ships. All we need to send Postell overseas.

He'll find Saddam and Osama in no time.... And without the help of the French!
