WNU Editor: After waiting for almost 10 years .... it feels surreal to now know that that Osama Bin Laden has finally received justice. For the past 10 years a part of me was convinced that he was dead .... that he was probably killed at Tora Bora, and his body buried and long forgotten. The videos and audio recordings that always cropped up in the months and years after 9/11 gave me the other perspective .... that he was actually alive, and well protected by his followers and supporters somewhere in Pakistan.
I am learning right now that in the raid to capture/kill Bin laden, one of the 4 helicopters that was used was shot down by Osama Bin Laden loyalists. Besides Bin Laden , three adults were also killed including one of Bin laden`s sons. This tells me that Bin Laden kept a minimal security detail, and was most comfortable when he with his own immediate family.
I suspect that in the next 24-48 hours we will be receiving an avalanche of news information and details. I will try my best to summarize the important details, and to point out those bits that a need a second look.
As I get ready to go to bed I have only one thought on my mind .... today was a good day .... and that is my reaction to the death of Osama Bin laden.
