Osama may be dead! This report needs to get major play in the media by tomorrow. How awesome that this news (if true) came out right before 9/11 - it's the perfect segue to Hussein. All those complainers (Rall, Clinton, etc.) who recommended focusing on Osama rather than Saddam may suddenly have had the carpet pulled out from under them. Here's the key graf:

A SLIP of the tongue by one of Osama bin Laden's top henchmen seems to have betrayed al-Qaeda's most potent secret: its charismatic leader is dead. The blunder was made by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has confessed to being the operational mastermind behind the September 11 attacks. He made his mistake while disclosing many of the secrets behind the atrocities, which were plotted in Kandahar, the religious extremist Taleban movement's Afghan spiritual home.

The interview was with an Al-Jazeera reporter fluent in Arabic, which makes it more likely that this report is true. In a previous article, the Times made the slip of the tongue explicit: evidently bin Laden was referred to in the past tense, followed by some signal (a look of alarm on the speaker's face?) that indicated to the Al-Jazeera interviewer that bin Laden was dead. Even if this isn't true, this is the kind of meme that could bring Al Qaeda to its knees. I suggest you spread it. (Link via Right Wing News)
