On Bin Laden’s Death "Though his continued presence damaged President Bush, arguably it damaged al Qaeda more by keeping the organization and its leader in the spotlight.

"The search for bin Laden has sent most of al Qaeda’s skilled troop commanders to hell, Guantanamo, or to scream out their secrets in obscure prisons in obscure countries. Strategic direction over the entire network has not been possible since the fall of Afghanistan.'

Bin Laden now room temperature  "Bin Laden’s elimination vindicates U.S. strategy in the region, started under President George W. Bush, and it will be seen as a major success for the United States, showing the world that America will remain committed to hunting down its enemies as long it takes.
"But while America should take great satisfaction in this tremendous achievement, the United States must remain vigilant against a terrorist threat that is not yet vanquished. Terrorists are trying to attack us both at home and abroad; with 38 terrorist plots foiled since 9/11, these attempts will certainly continue, if not get worse."

 Osama bin Laden killed in U.S. raid, buried at sea  "A U.S. official said bin Laden’s body was quickly transported away from Pakistan and “buried at sea,” in part because the U.S. government did not want an accessible gravesite that could become a shrine to bin Laden’s followers. The official declined to identify which body of water the corpse was taken to, or provide further details on how it was transported or handled.
"The official said the body was buried “in accordance with Islamic tradition,” meaning within 24 hours of bin Laden’s death."

 Muslims' reaction to Osama Bin Laden's death   Harris Zafar's comment :

I hope to see more acceptance, although I don't know if I can expect it. Usama did a LOT to damage the perception of Islam, and people don't really trust Muslims anymore. But groups like al-Qaeda have contributed to that. So as moderate Muslims, we know we have out work cut out for us, which is why we won't stop advocating for a separation of mosque and state, for freedom of religion and speech, and for loyalty to our country. We will still use our Muslims for Peace platform (www.MuslimsForPeace.org) to spread Islam's message."
