Black Guy With Muslim-Sounding Name Plays Along With Birthers to Distract His Political Opponents and the Press, and Gets the Country’s Number Foe

UPDATE IV: "What happened that night in Abbottabad." Read The New Yorker, Getting Bin Laden.


UPDATE III: "The adult sons of Osama bin Laden have lashed out at President Obama over their father’s death, accusing the United States of violating legal principles." Read The New York Times, Bin Laden Sons Say U.S. Violated International Law "by killing an unarmed man, shooting his family members and disposing of his body in the sea"

UPDATE II: The black guy with Muslim-sounding pulled "off an execution of the execrable Osama that would make Mario Puzo proud, with plenty of room for a sequel." Read The New York Times, Cool Hand Barack.


UPDATE: It is a small, small world, communications-wise.

Did you know that "one of the most important, secretive, tightly managed covert operation in U.S history — and it was on tweeted in real time"? Read the Washington Post, Sohaib Athar’s Tweets from the attack on Osama bin Laden.

After years of claims that he is "weak, indecisive and insufficently committed to defending America," and despite a relentless smear campaign, "Obama made the long-awaited decision to launch a ground operation in Pakistan in pursuit of bin Laden." Read the Washington Post, Bin Laden killing caps extraordinary week for Obama.

Rumor has it that Trump is saying bin Laden was not really dead because the long form death certificate has not been released.
