Americans so happy over "killing Osama Bin Laden" they're even giving Congress credit
Americans celebrating the alleged extra-judicial
killing of terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden
Finally, a new Gallup Poll reveals this morning, the American public has settled on who should get a chunk of the credit for that daring, deadly raid on Osama bin Laden's housing compound over there in Pakistan: Members of Congress.
No, really. Those brave folks who make only $174,000 a year and take vacations back home for every conceivable holiday, are basking in a newfound approval among Americans. Gallup reports today that following the "assassination of Bin Laden," the approval of that congressional crowd jumped by almost half from 17% to 24%. Amazing the effect a little righteous killing can have on the American mind. Yes, yes, that's still only one-in-four approval. But it's way better than they'd been viewed for a long time. In fact, 24% is one point higher than Congress' approval rating has been since the beginning of 2010.
A resolution to expand the "legal basis" for the global war on terror is moving through Congress

AWIP: Statement From the Family of Osama bin Laden - I Omar Ossama Binladin and my brothers the lawful children and heirs of the Ossama Binladin (OBL) have noted wide coverage of the news of the death of our father, but we are not convinced on the available evidence in the absence of dead body, photographs, and video evidence that our natural father is dead. Therefore, with this press statement, we seek such conclusive evidence to believe the stories published in relation to 2 May 2011 operation Geronimo as declared by the President of United States Barrack Hussein Obama in his speech that he authorized the said operation and killing of OBL and later confirmed his death.
