Who's watching CNN?

[heidi]

It's all over Twitter and the news blogs, but I haven't seen mention of it on LJ yet, and CNN hasn't sent out a breaking news alert but, from Nick Kristoff's nytimes tweet:

NY Times reports that Bin Laden Is Dead, According to a U.S. Official. http://nyti.ms/ldiAZg

ETA And if he was really shot in the head by US soldiers, then the last thing he saw was justice, coming for him. Fitting, if accurate, and I hope it is.

CNN is reporting it too. I'm ridiculously happy about this.

He killed cousins of at least three of my friends, along with thousands of other people. I hope he burns for all eternity.

But what will the US do with his body? Return it to his family at some point, I guess?

You at least have a personal connection, I'm... well, it's locked on my journal, you can look there.

As for his body, I think I've been watching too much Supernatural, as my first thought when you mentioned it was "salt and burn". (His family can have the ashes)

LOL yes that means you are watching too much SPN. :P

I just looked, yeah.

You and another of my friends, actually. And yes, salt and burn, in whatever is the largest stadium in the US, with all the survivors and families of the victims in attendece.

I am not normally bloodthirsty, but I am tonight.

It's the banner at CNN.com. Supposedly the President will be making an announcement shortly.

I hope he's looking around the afterlife, alone in a room with those whose death he is responsible for, thinking "I am SO fucked."

People pouring into the streets to celebrate in front of the White House, largely George Washington University students. I'm tempted to drive down there to join them.

I never thought we'd get him. But that's what he gets for setting up camp in a bloody million dollar mansion. With an 18' wall around it. Ten times the size of all the neighbors' houses. Burning their trash. With no internet connection unlike everyone else in town.

Pampered asshole. Trains poor 14-year-olds to blow themselves up while he lives in a palace.

While this will not kill the hydra that is Al Quaeda, bin Laden was a big damn head. And it will help the thousands of people whose lives were torn apart by the events he planned.
