Bin Laden is dead.

Waiting to watch the President's announcement, but the news is: Osama bin Laden is dead.

I have been waiting for this day for nearly ten years.

Here he is! Live-blogging....

Hahaha, we removed the Taliban government in Afghanistan. We had operations from around the world.... but he's not mentioning Iraq. Funny - bin Laden wasn't found dead OR alive in Iraq. Huh.

A compound deep inside Pakistan? Where? Twitter is saying Islamabad. NO - Obama says it was a Special Forces strike in Abbottabad.

Hate to think this way, but what a shot in the arm for Obama2012!

Also: HILARIOUS that this announcement was a cutaway that overrode Trump's stupid Celebrity Apprentice show.

Well, the Twitterati were getting our information from CNN, NBC, NYTimes, and from @NickKristof, etc. - I think Obama's speech was the first time I've heard of Abbottabad.

Which is apparently nearly a suburb of Islamabad.

Last night was my first foray into following a Twitter feed. I'm impressed with how much fresh information there was in it - after sifting through tons of crap.
