The killing of Osama bin Laden is one of those events which, especially in the immediate aftermath, is not susceptible to reasoned discussion. It's already a Litmus Test event: all Decent People -- by definition -- express unadulterated ecstacy at his death, and all Good Americans chant "USA! USA!" in a celebration of this proof of our national greatness and Goodness (and that of our President). Nothing that deviates from that emotional script will be heard, other than by those on the lookout for heretics to hold up and punish. Prematurely interrupting a national emotional consensus with unwanted rational truths accomplishes nothing but harming the heretic (ask Bill Maher about how that works).

In spain most of the press is pointing out that the foto of bin laden dead is a montaje of photoshop

La foto del supuesto cadáver de Osama Bin Laden que ha circulado esta mañana por diferentes medios de comunicación españoles y del mundo es falsa. La imagen ya ha sido utilizada en ocasiones anteriores y se trata de un montaje hecho a partir de otra fotografía.

En varias páginas web (como ésta) se puede comprobar que ya había sido utilizada con anterioridad. Además, en YouTube, la misma captura aparece en un vídeo -ahora retirado- de hace dos semanas.

Entre otros medios, Público.es también publicó durante unos instantes la fotografía, enviada por la agencia Associated Press.

Are you kidding me? They buried him at sea? The most important enemy of our times and they don't bring the body back to the forensic pathologists at Walter Reed?
What a joke.

And no Americans killed? A gunfight so bad that they were unable to bring in alive the man with more information about the terrorizing network of al Qaeda than anyone alive, but nobody on our side was killed?

This is sort of funny.

This just proves exactly how high the stakes are.

WASHINGTON – Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks against the United States, is dead, and the U.S. is in possession of his body, a person familiar with the situation said late Sunday.

President Barack Obama was expected to address the nation on the developments Sunday night.

Two senior counterterrorism officials confirmed that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan last week. One said bin Laden was killed in a ground operation, not by a Predator drone. Both said the operation was based on U.S. intelligence, and both said the U.S. is in possession of bin Laden's body.

Officials long believed bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world, was hiding a mountainous region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak ahead of the president.
