According to this news report Osama Bin Laden is dead. If it’s true, it’s somewhat disappointing. Someone who was so evil and caused so much suffering to so many others should have had a much less kind death. But at least he wasn’t captured and given the opportunity to grandstand like Saddam has. As Bin Laden died and descended into eternity, imagine his surprise and shock when he saw - not the virgins he had imagined, but this:
ABC News has picked up the story, too. However, both sites got their report from Reuters - and we KNOW how reliable Reuters is - not.

I’ll believe it when I see his body. In fact, I hope American troops find him and can wrap him in pig skin….he won’t be able to get into ‘nirvana’ that way!

The French say Osama Bin Laden is Dead…
I would hate to think he died a peaceful death of natural causes (however painful dying of typhoid might be, it would not be painful enough). Although, dying like that would not be the ‘going down in a blaze of gloryÂ’ that most jihadists seem to pray…

After hearing the rumors today that Osama Bin Laden might be very ill or even dead, the reasons for his illness/death became evident. It was not the cause of typhoid fever, but the fact that finally his one true love,…

Bin Laden’s Death Saddens Me…
Here is my translation of the L’Est Republicain report in question:
The Saudi secret service are now convinced that the Al-Qaeda founder died. If it becomes confirmed soon, that information could help American president George Bush, whose party is t….

This would be a good thing. Takes him out of the status of “martyr” - takes him out of Democrats’ talking points: “we still have not gotten Bin Laden!” (as if that would stop anything), and, well, he would be DEAD.
