At this rate I bet Nicole Brown Simpson's real killer is found any day now too.

Thoughts:
1. This is great news. Really great. I know that it doesn't mean the end of terrorism or anything, but it is a massive blow to Al Qaeda both in their leadership and symbolically. Maybe this can be a good indicator that it's time to accelerate drawing back our troops in Afghanistan so we can have one less thing to worry about.
2. Obama's having a hell of a week. It'll be interesting to see what this does to his approval numbers/re-election chances. Also to see what impact this has on the stock markets on Monday.
3. Not that there were any doubts about Panetta replacing Gates anyways, but Panetta being in charge of the CIA when they finally pull off what they've been attempting for years definitely makes you feel more comfortable about him taking over the defense department.
4. Kinda hilarious that coverage of the news cut short the end of Celebrity Apprentice, adding further insult to Trump after the birth certificate release and the absolute slaughter at the Correspondents' Dinner.

Yeah, the kind of people who belong to organizations like Al Qaeda tend to think in messianic terms and will probably view this as a martyrdom. I understand that his body has already been buried at sea, and I wonder how the terrorist community feels about that.
hmm interesting... i was just reading an article about it and apparently they got him sometime late yesterday (5/1)... my mother's birthday is sept. 11th and my niece's birthday is may 1st (she turned 11 yesterday).

It's such a waste to be wasted in the first place
I wanna taste the taste of being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone, I listen to our secret theme

I thought they'd be using his head for the opening pitch of the world series.
