Actually, I wouldn't fancy being a high profile royal going on a honeymoon about now....

Good point! Very possible they were tipped off this was going to happen so postponed.

and it turns out the photo was fake

Just seen the news reports and I have to say that I find the "Yank in the street" reaction of celebrating to be very distastful

So, one guy that was as involved in the actual atrocities as Obama/Blair/Bush/etc have been in the War on Terror got killed by a murder squad sent in specifically to kill him.

Thats really something to celebrate that is.

A figurehead has been knocked over, but there will be many waiting to take his place.

Nothing to celebrate really.

Really? The more I hear about it the more suspect the whole story sounds!

When saddam was captured the whole things was captured on film... The footage of his execution was shown and his body shown.

This guy has been killed... 3 days ago in Pakistan... And has had a sea burial... Sounds utter bolloxs to me.

I love the conspiracy theories and theorists.

So much more to laugh at than the actual news.

I really would like to know why Navy Seals were given the authority to be judge, jury and executioner. They obviously had no intention of bringing him back alive.

What sounds more realistic to you...

The most wanted man in the world who took 10 years to hunt down, captured, killed and flown 1500km south to be dumped at the nearest coastline with the only picture (so far at least) being a photoshop fake from a man who had been killed two years ago...

or

He died from kidney failure not too long ago, and instead of America telling the world how he evaded them, then died from natural causes, they come up with this convenient set up to show the world they can't be evaded, will find anyone and will always triumph?

It's the crock we're being fed on the news that is hilarious. Should there be a trophy killing picture/other pictures then we'd stand corrected, but as it is now why should we believe any of it? Because they said so?

Wouldn't he have been more valuable to America alive? They could have waterboarded the sucker like theres no tomorrow in order to extract information out of him. Instead it doesn't seem at all like they tried to get him out alive. Just killed him and dumped him for shark food in the blink of an eye. Hmmm

Had they took him alive what were they going to do with him, just think about the consequences a trial, jail sentence or death penalty. His supporters taking Hostages, or more terrorist attacks to get him released, they did the only thing they could.
