There are reports that the US has the body of Osama Bin Laden.
Anyone have any news?

He was found by a Martyr Hari.
I hope he took his best mates with him.
I guess Gaddafi will join him and his children sooner than later.

Great start to the Season of War in Afghanistan.

Good Riddance to a piece of rubbish.

But now the trouble will really start!
His followers will not let his death rest.

I noticed a comment by someone (probably of Arab appearance) in the 'live' twitter feed: "Osama is dead. Does that mean that people will start being nice to me again at the Airport?"

It's been so long I honestly thought they'd forgotten or he was already dead.

I'm sorry, but no one, including our Prime Minister, has the right to "welcome the death of Osama Bin Laden" on my behalf.

This killing will do nothing but harm to the prospect of peace in the World.

Jason.

We'll worry about that when the time comes Leon, couldnt be any worse than when he was alive could it.
I watched a doco the other day that said Alkaida was actually starting to suffer numbers because of pressure the real muslims have been copping. Seems they are sick of being tarred with that brush.

The world moves on.

I just find celebrating death disturbing. I'm not sorry he's dead, but I don't know how anyone can celebrate such a thing.

Just pop him off and move on.

Jason. It is a sad day when we celebrate the death of someone. No matter who they were or how bad they were. Life should be celebrated, not violent death. And we will continue to have violent death in this manner as long as it is celebrated. Making a martyr if you will, regardless of the "side".

Let him rest in peace. He did some terrible things and we all wish they didn't happen, but he is gone and hopefully (wishful) his philosophies will die with him.
