Hypothetically speaking,

Picture yourself as the Leader of a Free World Coalition Forces Nation and,
Your Forces capture Osama Bin Laden.

1.   If you a put him to death.

He is seen as a Martyr for his Cause. Something l suspect he has little interest in Really doing.
He is seen by his Followers as Faithful to his words. Something I suspect he is not.
His followers rally to his example in an orgy of suicide attacks.

As a by product another man steps up to take his place.
Perhaps this one is more clever, a better leader and more political minded
when it come to manipulating the western worlds fears.

2.   If you put him on trial.

His followers engage in a Spree of kidnapping, hostage taking and wanton destruction in an effort to get him released.
As a by product another man steps up to take his place.
Perhaps this one is more clever a better leader and more political minded when it come to manipulating the western worlds fears.

3.  Or You detain him clandestinely in a remote, quite and secure place.

Forgo the brief and fleeting satisfaction you may get by parading him around for the
world to See "ALA Saddam Hussein "

The Left wing Media chided Bush on his " Failure to Capture Saddam " 

( as if it was his responsibility to go out there with a .20 gauge looking for him personally )

When the Soldiers tasked with the Job accomplished it and captured Saddam Hussien.
They refereed to him as " A helpless, poor old man who resembles Santa Claus. "
And just as quickly forgot about The Triumph as it ran counter to their Cause.

No one can call him "a Martyr for the Cause "
No one dares step up to replace him because " what if he does reappear? "
These people do not handle political rivals with kid gloves.
No Spree of kidnapping, hostage taking and wanton destruction in an effort to get him released.

PS.

Not so Seriously.
If a Close election Looms, You could Release News of his Capture as an " October Surprise "
This would be a lock on the 2008 Election for Republicans.

J. E. Bush would skate for 8 years. By then Jenna would be Ready to take the Rains.
I could make a fortune selling sleeping pills and Razor blades to Liberals.

The only problem I see with your presentation is referring to his being put to death as an attainment of martyrdom. Certainly they could construe being executed by the Infidel as that of a martyr, however he would not die in advancing the cause, it could actually be the ultimate disgrace to his side perhaps. Still, the chances of them allowing that to be the perception attained in public demonstrations would be non-existant.

Could of just left him in the bottom of that spider hole with a 5.56mm dot on his forehead, threw some dirt on it and claimed he had escaped, that tricky little devil, and is now sharing a hole on a remote moutain with Osama drinking camel piss and eating goat turds, who'd know, right... lol!

Put him in a perspex box on display in Macy's for the rest of his dayz.
Seriously though. I think Osama Bin Laden is a more mythical figure and therefore more likely to spark of trouble when he is caught.

I'd make him sit in a room, watching nothing but American Idol for 22 hours a day.  Let him sleep for 2 hours, then do it again.

I think this thread was meant to be a serious consideration of potential action, not like the other one. (Slap wrists with ruler to most of you)

I would most certainly put him on an international trial.  That way, many more investigations into his funding can be revealed, along with his connections to the Bush administration.  It would be a chance to get answers for all of the questions that are currently setting the dividing lines between the society in this country.

Bush should get Cheney to go out looking for him. I hear that guy has no problem with shooting people with a .12 gauge. Birds and people, they all look the same right?

I reckon the Israeli Special Forces should get involved. They know where Osama is anyway, and they have a knack for destroying the new leaders of terrorist organisations too. They wouldn't though, because they'd be in the shit if they did.

Secretly detain him for a while, then a public trial.  Get all the usefull information you can, then shame him in the world's eyes. (Tricky to pull off the right PR spin [to avoid "martyrdom"], but possible)
