    I haven't seen too much of the media coverage or the official announcement yet (just the normal news snippets) but did I miss the part where they mention other casualties or how it all happened? Or did they forget to mention the helicopter that was supposedly shot down (or what happened to it?)...
    The things I've read and seen on the main media channels so far just leave too many questions unanswered. I'm sure there are more details about it out there but I'm not happy with the coverage of it so far. If only there was a place where they could publish all communications and let us read all official reports...

    Yeah it does all seem a bit patchy.. and it seems dodgy how they buried him at sea so there's now no evidence that he's even dead.

    But I'm pretty sure he wasn't really doing much anyway apart from hiding.. I always thought he was more of a mascot, or logo for the Al-Qaeda brand. Kinda like Colonel Sanders, he doesn't actually make the chicken.. so his death is really not gonna make any difference to how Al-Qaeda works, if anything it will just antagonize them

    I agree Attila. 

    Obama took credit with all his "I ordered, I directed, I blah blah. 

    It's one terrorist down but I doubt it will really change things for the better in the scheme of things but that doesn't mean their deathly deeds should go unpunished.

    I just don't see why they'd lie about it

    Yeah I don't see why after 10 years they'd suddenly say they'd killed him? I don't see the point

    I'm slightly irked if it turns out the guys who killed him were sent explicitly to kill him, without aiming for capture if somewhat doable. If one can raid an airplane that's been hijacked without casualties, it should be doable to do the same with a small compound in Pakistan.

    Won't miss the guy though.
