It was the aftermath of 9/11, so I think Bono would context his comements about Bin Laden a bit differently now. But if you have naver seeen Bono's sermon which introduced "Please," in Miami in 2001, it reminds one how shockingly upfront and direct the God-content was on this tour (after the equally spiritual content, but more ironic and indirect vibe of the nineties), how 9/11 transformed the songs (I saw them in November 2001, and who can forget the Super Bowl performance as midrash on Psalm 51:15),
...and it's not a bad sermon; just to hear Bono say "ineffable." (:
