It was not immediately clear where the information that opened the end game was obtained. The New York Times reported Monday that detainees at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, gave the courier’s pseudonym to interrogators and identified him as a protégé of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the confessed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. But the Associated Press quoted unidentified U.S. officials as saying that CIA interrogators at secret prisons developed strands that led to bin Laden.

I haven't read many of the posts but I was going to mention this small nugget of information too. Reports are the information about the courier was obtained thru high level detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Nice.

The crazy will be out in full force. Trump, where are you? The stage is yours!
"I want to personally congratulate President Obama and the men and women of the Armed Forces for a job well done," Trump said in a statement to ABC News (http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/05/donald-trump-congratulates-obama-on-osama-bin-laden-killing-asks-for-end-to-party-politics-debate-fo.html).
“I am so proud to see Americans standing shoulder to shoulder, waving the American flag in celebration of this great victory," he added. "We should spend the next several days not debating party politics, but in remembrance of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and those currently fighting for our freedom. God Bless America!"

Perhaps we should have a permanent truce on his retarded antics about Obama not being an American and questioning of his merit to attend prestigious schools? How about we cut the crap on talking childish nonsense to the Chinese and the Saudis?
The clown will be back to "I mean, look, I'm a smart guy, but, we don't have a body or pictures. We don't really know if that's him or his body double. You can't tell me all of a sudden we found the guy and killed him. I hope I'm wrong but something doesn't seem right" in no time.

This.
No way in hell I would ever want anybody in Black Ops put on TV or exposed, no matter how great their service is. Chances are it would put their family (and themselves) in grave danger.
Ok, not 100% applicable, but just an outstanding video anytime:

Picture has been released. He is very dead. It's pretty graphic but I've seen worse. Don't feel like posting it though as it's not fair to people who would rather not see it.

At one point he was offering to narrate Loose Change. Personally I was expecting him to go off the deep end again.
