They have the body, and apparently they did DNA tests on the spot. Of course, I expect there to be a whole hullaballoo about it being a Bin Laden body double and it was faked on both the right in the U.S. and among terrorist groups.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There's a (hypothetical) stream of the statement here, or at least there will be streaming, once the damn thing starts.

I feel surprisingly reluctant to cheer about someone's death, despite having supported the hunt for him for ten years. But I hope this results in less carnage in Afghanistan rather than more, and ultimately lessens the need for us to maintain a military presence there.
