So who gets the $25 million reward?

Breaking news. Ding dong, the sheikh is dead. i just love it when they get the bad guy. i'm listening to MSN's live feed and Dick Gregory has Richard Engel on the line to tell us that this means the war on terror is over, democracies can now blossom freely throughout the Middle East and we can all feel safe once again. What a relief! i know that i am definitely going to sleep better tonight and i'm sure the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan feel the same.

Of course, they could never have brought him in alive - that was probably a standing mandate from the W Dick administration, intent on covering their own tracks (background sounds of champagne corks popping and ribs sizzling in Crawford). It does look like we'll get a public viewing of the corpse, which is bound to incite an endless stream of fascinating conspiracy rants from Alex Jones proving that the same people who dressed up "Osama's" body for the cameras faked the moon landing back in 1969. Maybe he'll go on display at the WTC memorial site? That would be a sure way to shut the Obama-is-a-compulsive-liar birthers up.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not shedding any tears for this guy. Generally speaking, i don't have any positive things to say about men like bin Laden. That's exactly why i'm still asking why Cheney, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz and Bush are still at large. If they're going to hunt down war criminals, shouldn't they go for the whole gang?
