Bin Laden is dead, official

I keep seeing press about his luxurious compound, and sometimes "mansion."

The place looked like a dump, and is considerably smaller than my house. A million doesn't get much in some crappy suburb if Islamabad, does it? Seriously, what's the per capita income there, a million should buy a frickin palace, not a 3000ft^2 dump (described in one report as "a sprawling 3000 ft^2 mansion." (the average US home is ~2400 ft^2 for comparison).

I don't start even thinking "mansion" til over 10,000 ft^2.
