I have no words of my own so I'll have to give you words belonging to others.
Osama bin Laden, the leader and symbol of Al-Qaeda, is dead.
A small, elite United States CIA operation killed him during a firefight in a mansion outside of Islamabad, Pakistan.
He's dead. The leader of those who scarred my existence and destined my marriage for separation is dead. It's a justice I never thought would come to pass. As CNN broadcasted the Breaking News the president would speak on an important event in United States security over an hour ago I never dreamed it was this.
Oh God in Heaven. Oh gracious Father. I can't speak the words I know I should be able to express.
My Husband says this must be why General David Petraeus has been given the job as the head of the CIA. He did this; he arranged this. I want to name my first son after him.
Pakistan knew. Of course they knew. But it doesn't matter now. I don't care. Osama bin Laden is dead. It's over. Please God, let it be over for us all.
Tell everyone you know. Wake up your children, shout it from your windows. I haven't stopped crying since I heard the news.
Osama bin Laden is dead!
