{1} I understand that the military did not lable Usama bin Laden as "Geronimo." If people read the entire OP, they would have noted that I made this clear. That was towards the end of the first sentence, however, no doubt beyond the point that several of the responders reached. Thinking can be uncomfortable, though.

{2} References to Tadodaho Sid Hill and the "outrage machine" found on DU are a giggle. Sid is probably the most humble, soft-spoken person on earth. I can say without any chance of error that those complaining about Sid have never met him. In fact, they do not know who he is, or the process that led to his release.

{3} There are a few people who, to be charitable, have reached the 50% measure in attempting wit; gosh, how clever to use "Jack Pot" in a joke about those Indians. Again, this reflects a profound ignorance of who the Onondaga are.

{4} The theory that the use of the name "Geronimo" was random -- and that absolutely no thought went into it -- is wonderful.
