Speaking personally, as a Republican, I think that the fewer people who knew about this operation, the better. Too many cooks spoil the broth as it were.

The biggest controversy I've heard about the whole thing was what Rep. Peter King said. That was that some of the information that got the ball rolling toward the courier who eventually led us to bin Laden was obtained from waterboarding terror suspects (KSM in particular). I will go on record as saying I have absolutely no problem with "enhanced interrogation techniques" when it comes to these types of people. It's quite a bit less lethal than their technique of beheading.

True dat. Even if they showed the photos, there'd be nutters queuing up to tell us they're faked.

I was pleased by the speed with which the rumours of him using his wife as a human shield were dealt with.

We don't need to make up bullshit to show what a twat he was.

I am against the release of said photo. It serves no purpose.

I wonder if the repubicans will be critical of this in the way they've been critical of our Libyan activities. "Obama should have consulted congress" in best sad sack voice

I've heard so many things over the past few days I don't know what to believe.

1. He was shot twice in the head.
2. He was shot in the cheek.
3. He was shot above the left eye.
4. He was shot once in the head and once in the chest.

All that matters is that he's dead. "It's a Sicilian message. It means Osama bin Laden sleeps with the fishes".

And whether or not he was armed, to me, is irrelevant. He needed to die.
