[ale] Celebrate - Usama killed!

[Lightner, Jeff]

I liked the fact that CNN refused to speculate on what the President was
going to say even when they had one source.   They waited until they had
3 sources confirming it and the President had delayed for quite a while
before they reported it.

Fox knows how to mispronounce things.  While most reasonable people
understand that "suicide bomber" simply designated that the murderer
killed himself instead of doing a remote detonation Fox decided everyone
was too stupid to understand that.   Accordingly they came up with
"homicide bombers".   They also showed how reliable a news source they
are by continuing to employ Geraldo after he claimed to be in the midst
of a battle he was 300 miles away from and called it a "mistake".   How
the heck does someone not know the difference between bullets wizzing
past their ears and NOT wizzing past their ears?

I have to note though that it seemed that FOX was the only one that 
spelled it with a U, while all the others were spelling it as Osama. 
Doesn't matter as long as he's dead, bullet to the head from the 
President's announcement.
