    I'd much rather remember the innocent victims and the men and women in the armed services who have given their lives to curb these terrorist organizations than to celebrate the death of one of their leaders.

    Posting that video and remembering the tragedy of that couple jumping to their deaths is a lot more healthy.

    Well, at least there's one less psychotic mass-murderer in the world today.

    Bin Laden used HIS OWN WIFE as a human shield.

    I hope there are no reprisals.

    Reports here are that it is believed he used his youngest wife as a shield. Nice that he had a choice. Another wife and a daughter survived.

    Heard this morning also that Obama and staff watched the event going down live via a satellite link.

    I just read another blurb released be "Another White House Official" that stated that bin Laden's wife was not killed. She was injured but not killed. It was on one of those news reports you see on Yahoo Instant Messenger when you first log in and I didn't save the link (stupid of me! Sorry)
