How do we really know he is dead? Can anyone prove it? Have independent laboratories validated the DNA comparison? Why is everyone so quick to take it at face value he is dead when so many inconsistancies in the initial reports of events are cropping up?

It wouldn't surprise me if he was captured and is being held at Gitmo

Let's send GW bush to hell. He can recon and get back to us (hopefully?). You'd believe old W, wouldn't you?

I doubt this. It would be disastrous politically, were the secret ever to get out, and why lie in the first place?

"America has Bin Laden, and he's going to be taking part in interesting conversations for the next 30 years" will flush out more terrorists than "They killed him".

From a policing point of view, Sarge has a point. A story that changes that much

I reckon the old rat is dead, though. Not you Sarge.

Now that bin Laden's gone, would anyone mind too terribly much if the US just gave Afghanistan to India?

Does anyone think that Jill would come back for a Klondike bar?

That's a sure way to start a nukular war between India and Pakistan.


Not a bad idea.

So much for Bin Laden's boasts the world would fall apart if he was killed.
Two suicide bombs in Pakistan. More Muslims dead, and of course it targeted people who had nothing to do with Bin Laden's death.

Like all terrorists, Al Queda are opportunistic cowards, and don't deserve the attention paid to them - they are a spent force that can only racket around in the desert in future.

This demonstrates that they cannot use any pre-planned attacks or pre-positioned supplies, because they have to assume that the American government now knows everything.

So they are taking the cheap shots. My guess, however, is that Disneyland California will be their next target.

edit

I mean their next American target. It is cheap, it is easy, and it appeals to their attention-whore mentality.

This is too funny.

The congregation of a Florida church is divided over a decision to include the name of terrorist leader leader Osama bin laden on its prayer list.

Henry Borga, a member of the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in West Palm Beach, added the al Qaeda leader's name to a list of people to be remembered during this Sunday's service.

Borga told Palm Beach Post reporter Rochelle Ritchie his Catholic faith teaches that even the mastermind of the 9/11 plot that killed nearly 3,000 people deserves forgiveness and compassion from God.

Borga's act was in response to the celebratory reactions many expressed upon news of bin Laden's death, including cheering crowds outside the White House.
