A former CIA officer says he has been hearing for weeks that the U. S. was getting close to bin Laden. CBS seems to think it was a CIA operation.

AlJazeera has the story tagged but no details.

CBS is going to talk it to death before the President ever speaks. They do not know anything and are clearly ad libbing to fill time with background until the news conference.

I guess this means I will not see the end of CSI.

CBS says their sources are two congressional sources. CBS conjecture is he was killed by ground forces in Pakistan and removed.

The President is very late for the conference. The White House is now saying they will call the press for a background conference in 15 minutes.

Foxnews.com has come on line saying Bin Laden was killed by a bomb a week ago, but that the U.S. was waiting on DNA tests to confirm identity.

I am not sure there will be much left for the President to say. A specialist on the war on terror says this shows our intelligence is robust in the area. Maybe we should wait and see how this happened before we jump to conclusions.

I think they will have to show footage of the body and have third party verification to convince the terrorists it is true.

CBS already has stock footage of Bin Laden running. Now there are two more commentators. They are already jumping to the political ramifications. Namely, they are beginning to tout the effect of it. I agree it is the biggest blow to Al Queda that could be struck.

Now they are telling us how wily Bin Laden was, as if we have not heard this from 3 presidents already.

CBS interrupted CSI to say the President will make an announcement at 10:30. But leaks now say Osama Bin Ladin is dead and his body is in U.S. hands. It is interesting that CBS wanted to scoop the President and make the announcement before his press conference. It also shows people cannot keep their mouth shut. Juicy news is always shared.

Now CBS has already gone to a commentator to give opinions about the situation. It turns out the announcement was Eastern Time and it is already late, so CBS got tired of waiting and went on air with the story.
