Osama bin Laden killed in American operation

[A Black Falcon]

Apparently Pakistan wasn't told about this operation -- they only learned about it after it was over, pretty much. The US didn't trust them to do the right thing, when we suspect some people in their government of helping the Taliban and Al Quaida, I assume? Too bad, it's another bad sign for US-Pakistan relations... still though, it's great that it was done.

I agree that I wish they'd been able to take him alive, but he wasn't going to surrender and was either reaching for or had a gun, so I can understand why they'd shoot.
