Bin Laden is dead, official

The op was in place to kill him from what I have read. Glad they decided to do that instead of a trial (also glad US troops were not placed at even greater risk by asking them to grab him up instead of a pure assault (and great that none of our guys was killed. WTFG.). Still, it makes the whining about trials for detainees pretty absurd when summary execution is on the plate for others.

Tough call though since some intel for this op came from detainee interrogations, so I guess taking prisoners is a good thing.
