Dear diary, someone's at the door be right back!

Tap, tap. Who's there ? Your just desserts, OBL .

How did ol' Binny find Sacha Baron Cohen's take on him?
Like previous Caliph-wannabe Ayatollah Khomeini I'm sure humor had no place in his dark, demented, medieval world but still it would be interesting to see what he made of characters like Borat and Bruno.
"Bruno," to a purported terrorist: "Your Osama bin Laden, he looks like a kind of dirty wizard, or homeless Santa."

'It's called politics..." : This can be correct assessment. Some congressmen already want to have " special privilege" to view the photos..then 9/11 victims's families want to have the same..then journalists...then gradually special groups ,people at large. The effect of this success will prolong and people will remember and never forget to vote for President Obama ,again.

It's called politics.......and how to get the best position to get re-elected by motivating your core base. Before I get slammed, a Republican President in my opinion would have showed the pictures post haste. A Democratic President would not as it really shows the ugly side of this war and does not set with the overall Democratic view of utopia where people like Osama only existed because of some root flaw in our Foreign policy over the years.
My opinion.

I don't get it. Why releasing photo of dead OBL will provoke more violence BUT releasing informations of how to attack US citizens ,US targets is considered to be OK?

I hear he jotted this down in his dairy.
Today, took a little break from plotting to kill the infidels and took the wives and kiddies to the zoo. A great time had by all. Really enjoyed the seal exhibit and the seal show. To bad we arrived a little late and had to take seats a back a bit. The Jihadis in front though got to see those well trained seals real close. In the future, I sure hope that we get can get good seats up front so me and the family can see those seals up close and personal.

Would be nice if it has a little Hello Kitty or similar on the cover

I am sure there is plenty of stuff from the MSM or the government that you not only believe but use to make comments.

Couldn't it have been anyone's sandal? Was it monogrammed?

Wonder if the diaries will be as authentic as the Hitler diaries?

They found his sandal floating in the ocean and are praying to it. I saw that in a blog. samuraishonan's blog. Go look at the sandal.

OBL had this coming for him. I still believe he got it to easy though when it was time to go .. compared to the hell he and his buddies have done to the thousands of victims around the globe. To think he was planning more and more attacks. Dude was a total nut job.
Funny many people actually wanted this OBL nicely arrested and brought to trial.
Well that's the beauty of one's freedom of speech and creates a nice balance of opinion in our free loving society.

"find new ways to hit the U.S."
Or, find new ways to die.

Thanks Laguna, that was hilarious!

"February 3. Woke up at five with one of my 'goddesses' - not sure which one; their names are all to similar. What's up with 18 year olds today? Too early for Beck and not in the mood for that Al Jazeera crap, so made myself some falafel and ate behind the blast wall on the patio. Thinking about may plan to cause mass casualties in the US. The McDonalds franchise idea is working but too slow...must push them on my idea of introducing that triple-pounder bacon cheese sour cream burger. Counting big bodies in America easy; causing big body count not so...."

I feel better every time I read this that the Navy SEALs gave him a double-tap!

this is supposed to be news? Did we think that before the "diaries" were found that Osama was really just looking for peace, love, and better relations with the West?
TheQuestion
Yeah, real men maintain journals.
If he'd done his homework maybe he would have realized that American's, throughout the entier history of the nation, only have three emotions as a mass entity; happy, apethetic, and angry. If he actually wanted the U.S out of the middle east he would have given himself up and told all his buddies to go do something productive with their lives.

My advice would have been for OBL to buy a cable TV network using a front company and brainwash millions of Americans with twisted right-wing political rhetoric. Whoops! Too late, it's already being done by Rupert Murdoch.

It so nice that OBL's diabolical schemes now can have worldwide exposure to all the jihad extremists who might never had heard them thanks now to Western Media! Great job. OBL continues to speak to his followers through mass media on the quest to sell advertising because headlines equal money.
TheBigRiceBowl
He would have made an amazingly successful global businessman had he used his obvious talents for good, instead of evil. But that's what always happens to the baddies in the comics.

gogogo -- I feel so bad, but your comment made me laugh.
I guess this doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know.

His diary? The most wanted man in the world has a 9 year old girls obsession?

OBL deserved what he got but should have also deserved pork skin coffin.
