While excellent news . . . kind of anticlimactic.  I was waiting either for a Law and Order style trial or a major shootout that lasted long enough to get cameras to the site.  Something major and cinematic.

Like this, would his sheet stain's death in a blaze of glory more to your liking?

Amazing!

Largely symbolic at this point, but good news at hand!  It only took two years for Obama to do what Bush refused to do for 7 years!

Wrap him in bacon, and plant that bast**d!  (Sorry, could this have been my Sally Kern moment???  Geez, I hope not....)

The Bush bashers will really relish in this.  Too bad Clinton didn't take him when he was offered up and we might have been able to avoid years of carnage.

Hey, the Taliban offered him to Bush too.

Yeah, did you read the conditions.  It was a complete joke.  All they wanted was to create a ruse for the bombing to stop.  They had no intention of handing him over.

1) evidence he was shown (extradition doesn't require evidence?)
2) bombing stopped
3) negotiate a third country for trial.  (obviously no fair trial in the US.)

Doesn't sound that crazy to me.

They wanted him treated like a petty criminal, handing him over to a third country who wouldn't buckle under U.S. pressure.  Sorry Sheen you don't treat the worst war criminal of our lifetime like a petty thief.

Geraldo/Faux was almost a complete joke last night. Rivera said it was his greatest moment in broadcasting. Then he reported that Usama had been nailed last week and the government withheld this news until a DNA match had been completed. Obviously, this network caters to those who think you can continue to bash Clinton for not getting Bin Laden when he had the chance. :P
