I didn't really intend to start this UK blog off with what is mainly an American story but it is so clearly the biggest news item of the day or even the month that it just can't be ignored. I reckon this could do for American morale what a royal wedding did for the UK. It probably won't make any practical difference to everyday life but folks will feel better for knowing it has happened.
I remember thinking just after the events of September 11th that catching OBL was going to be a job for the intelligence services and special forces and in the end I was right. Whether or not somebody snitched on him we don't know and probably never will but it's congratulations to the intelligence community and those American soldiers who finally got him. This is good news for the entire civilised world.
