I never claimed expertise, the information I gave should be common knowledge.

It means his whole body is not submerged in a body of water (some of it is on a wall in Pakistan) and that we do have the means of attaining a DNA sample proving his death.[/quote]

Ms. K unt please shut up, soon the guys will think all the women on this board are stupid like you..

What a trashy thing to say. Is that how they talk at the truck stops you frequent? I don't need your approval and I most certainly do not need the approval of the boys of this forum. I'm really not surprized that you have nothing to contribute to the topic.

*Had to edit and remove suzyq's messed up part of the quote. You'd think as long as she's been here she'd know how to use the quote section correctly.

I'll take that as a victory. I discredit all of your whack job arguments and you turn to personal insults.

'NCIS' Will Integrate Osama Bin Laden's Death

NCIS Next time the camera pans to the most-wanted list on 'NCIS,' expect to see Osama bin Laden's face with a big red X through it.

According to Vulture, the production team of 'NCIS' will digitally add a death notice over bin Laden's face when his picture appears in the background of a scene, as occasionally happens on the military show.

The series has already wrapped shooting, so adding dialogue about the terrorist leader's death was impossible, leaving the CBS series with only a digital option to address the big military news. The nod could happen as early as tonight's episode.

'NCIS' has featured bin Laden on the set's background most-wanted list since the series began in 2003. The rest of the faces on the wall are made up of real-life wanted criminals as well as producers and crew members.

Next season they can run an episode showing Obama giving approval for the successful operation. Not that the voters will need reminders when they decide who to vote for in 2012. Four more years!

Osama bin Laden is dead and as Obama so often likes to say, Bush did it!

Why it took BHB so long to pull the trigger on UBL is anyone's guess but my 1st point is they waited for the Royal Wedding to schedule this OP, which is almost understandable because it pretty much prevented the press from tipping anyone off inadvertently because they were all fixated on London town.

I would have understood the choice for a quick burial at sea according to Muslim custom (not that he deserved the courtesy) except they offered the body to the Saudis 1st.

And according to some reports Osama fought back while other accounts claim he was unarmed. If unarmed why not capture him and give him a generally speedy trial like Hussain? Simple. Look how long it's taken to decide what to do with his followers down at the Cuban base prison facility which was supposed to already be shut down according to candidate Obama. Turns out that under civil law most would have to be set free for lack of evidence and others would expose US security measures if tried in open civil court. So again Bush was right not to shut it down and we still have no clue about what to do with these guys even now. Half of the ones we let go went back to fight us so that doesn't leave many options. So I figure they didn't want to mess with a trial and give him the chance for martyrdom as one of his followers decided to blow up some building where he was and put more lives at risk.

And did anyone notice the timing of the announcement? Obama kept delaying his speech as if to give people a chance to head down to the White House and Times Square as the info began to leak out via Twitter & Facebook. Why the unusual 11 PM announcement anyway? They kept it quiet this long why not wait for sunrise?? And how did people come to choose those 2 locations to be on camera? I speculate that those rallies were part of a staged PR idea by the White House but that's politics I guess.

But what I find funny about this whole thing is the White House feeling the need to try and ridicule any notion of a conspiracy theory right out of the gate. This tells me the President and all the President's men know they have a credibility problem. It also suggests there were going to be discrepancies between the official accounts and Western reporters accounts.

Barone: To get Bin Laden, Obama used policies he opposed

While we may not know all the details about and behind this operation, it's fascinating to see how many of the things that made the success of this operation possible were not so long ago decried by many of the president's fans and fellow partisans.

For one thing, it apparently would not have happened without those infamous enhanced interrogation techniques -- "torture," according to critics of the Bush administration.

The enhanced interrogation techniques reportedly led to identification of the courier who eventually led our forces to bin Laden's hiding place. Critics of waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques assured us that "torture" could not produce reliable information.

They were probably right that sometimes such techniques yield false information. But the bin Laden operation shows that they can also produce actionable intelligence.

You may remember that many Democrats called for criminal prosecution of CIA interrogators who were acting under orders vetted by legal counsel. Attorney General Eric Holder actually considered bringing such prosecutions.

Fortunately he decided not to do so -- fortunately for the individuals involved but fortunately also for his own reputation. Who would want to be known for prosecuting the people who helped track down bin Laden?

It has also been reported that in hunting down bin Laden our forces relied on intercepted communications. I wonder if any of them included contacts between suspected terrorists abroad and persons in the United States.

This was the "domestic wiretapping" revealed to great acclaim by the New York Times and presented as an intolerable infringement of civil liberties. Given what we know now, it's a good thing our folks were tuning in.

Obama deserves credit also for employing the Navy SEALs who are part of the Joint Special Operations Command. It was fashionable a few years ago to call the JSOC Cheney's death squad and Cheney's assassination team.

The assumption behind such criticism was that Bush administration officials were using what they termed the war against terrorism as a smokescreen for persecuting domestic dissidents. But there is not a scrap of evidence that either the Bush administration or the Obama administration were doing anything of the kind. They were too busy trying to protect us.

There was criticism as well of the idea of targeting particular individuals for assassination. But in ordering the raid on bin Laden's compound Obama authorized the killing of bin Laden. And no Miranda warnings first.

Bin Laden's death removes the possibility of any debate about where he would be confined or tried. On this Obama has already been forced to keep the Guantanamo detention center open and Holder has had to concede that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will not be tried in a civilian court in Manhattan.

Finally, let us note that this was a unilateral operation. Obama didn't go to the United Nations Security Council. He didn't, so far as we know, consult NATO allies. He took care not to inform the government of Pakistan, some elements of which obviously knew that bin Laden was ensconced in a house 800 meters away from Pakistan's military academy.

For years we heard supposedly enlightened people excoriate our leaders for torture, lawlessness, unilateralism -- the list goes on and on. Now the president they have wanted has used the tactics and methods they excoriated to get bin Laden. Good for him.

I'm sure Jeanine Gagandswallow, Alec Baldweenie and Bill Moron will be leading the CHARGE for his war crimes trial no?

On that note someone refresh my memory here. I know that in the IL Senate Obama opposed the death penalty in the state. But in his "long tenure" in the US Senate or as a candidate for President did he ever take a position on capital punishment?
