Osama Bin Laden Is Dead

It's been 10 years, but they caught the man said to be responsible for the 9/11 attacks. He was in Pakistan.

Barack Obama may have overstated his importance when he said:
“For over two decades, Bin Laden has been Al Qaeda’s leader and symbol. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat Al Qaeda. But his death does not mark the end of our effort. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.”
He even added ''Justice has been done'', which is false on so many levels. Bin Laden may be dead, and his body in American custody, but Justice would have been to try him in court, to get him to admit to his crimes - some of which we may even be unaware of. The death of a suspect is not and will never be the equivalent of a judge or jury's verdict. Never.

Here is Obama's complete speech:
