CBS News

[dwbh]

My wife just saw a breaking news announcement on CBS that the leader of Al-Qaeda has been confirmed dead! Anyone out there have more details?

I think you might be talkin' bout Al Zhewerri. He was the one responsible for killing Anwar Sadat. Don't know. If it is him he needed to go too.

[dwbh]

Dunno yet...we'll learn more in the next couple of days, I'm sure.

07:04 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mohammed Atef, a top deputy of Osama bin Laden, is believed to have been killed by a U.S. airstrike in the last two days, a U.S. official said Friday.

OBL is their leader. Is he dead???

[abner]

Here's hoping you have a lot more praying to do. Don't forget, every live terrorist is a threat to freedom.

Don't get me wrong here. I'm glad he is dead. I will pray for all of them. I hope all of the terrorists get wiped of the face of the earth. I will still pray for them.

I'll believe that when a body that is no longer breathing is confirmed to be him by Rumsfeld.

Flowers? Nah! How about a nice collection of Elvis Presley records?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Too bad he's dead, we could have got an intelligence BONANZA if we interrigated him...

[NC Conservative]

I hope Atef is having fun begging God not to throw him in the pit. Hehehehehehehee....... Who's your daddy Atef? Say it like you mean it.!!

Perhaps it was Mullah Omar?

No, Omar is just the Taliban leader.

If you had Omar and bin Laden in a room and a gun with two bullets, shoot bin Laden twice to be sure even if it means that Omar gets away.

It's gonna be hard for ObL to breathe with his head on a pike. That sort of thing really plays hob with most voluntary and involuntary motor movement.

I have just unrolled the wrapper on this fine set of cigars I purchased for moments just like this. Today I smoke the first one, hopefully I will have many more over the weekend!

Does the pilot get the $5 million reward that was on Atef's head?

[Walkin Man]

"This must be some sort of terrible mistake."

"Then, on Sunday, Satan gets them all day. I can't even imagine what he's got cooked up for them."

Great story!

How could anyone think that God would reward them in Heaven or Paradise for cutting the throat of a poor female flight attendant from ear to ear, killing the pilots, then crashing the jet into a skyscraper killing thousands of innocent people?

All of these murdering ba$tards will get "rewarded" for sure by their real god, SATAN!

[Miss Marple]

Fox News says he was killed by our Special Forces, and that they are currently seeking out Taliban and al Quaeda leaders and killing them.

This is the report from Fox...I don't know if it is correct or another confused report. (Of course everything will be much clearer when Afghani expert Geraldo gets there tomorrow.)

[VadeRetro]

If I'm right, you'll never see Pernell Roberts alive again.
