So, I just got up to this news at 5AM and I’m a few hours ahead of the US; I’m guessing that the US media is swamped with this. I’ll try to follow this up with a meatier obituary later (unless Daniel or Vorjack want to do it, I’m doing a 12.5 hour shift in the emergency unit today so bear with me), but in the meantime let’s throw this one open for discussion:

Was the media portrayal of OBL justified?
Is it good that he’s dead?
Are you worried about reprisal attacks?
Do you think that the death of Al Qaida’s spiritual leader heralds a downturn in violence?
What does this mean for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Does it make you worry any more for friends and family serving overseas?

…And most important of all: Do the soldiers that got him get the $25,000,000 bounty?
