“He is not just merely dead,
But he is most sincerely dead.”

The proof, for me, is that the remaining Al Qaeda types are saying he’s dead, and they’re frothing with murderous rage about it. (Along with the rest of the very long list of things that they’re frothing with murderous rage about. “Sorry, Osama, you’ll have to take a number…”)

When have we not? Forgive and forget doesn’t work when the opponent is bent on your destruction. Bad peace is better than the best war but war doesn’t end just because one side says, “I’m bored; let’s stop.” Both sides have to want to stop. Treat people decently when possible and harshly when necessary.

If the senator were to lie to the voters, that fact would eventually come out. While we have a long history of forgiving liars, it would still cost him some votes and votes add up.

And then there’s the question regarding the benefit of lying about it. Wife number 4 (given to him when she was 15) was there when he was killed. If he were not killed, she could say so. We aren’t in good relations with Pakistan for hosting him so long but they could check the brain matter splattered behind where he was standing and verify whether or not it was his.

Lots of people would like to see him tortured for his misdeeds, but-assuming Christ’s description of Hell to be correct-nothing a human could bring himself to do could match what he has experienced every second since May the first and will until the end of time.

As to any information he would give up under torture or any other form of questioning, the records would likely far surpass all he could say in a lifetime. What is more, the names and places in the records give additional sources of information unless they kill themselves first.
