American helicopters apparently attacked a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad yesterday during the dead of night. Authorities have confirmed that bin Laden was killed, along with 4 other individuals including a woman. The residence lies close to a Pakistani military base, about 30 miles from Pakistan&#8217;s capital Islamabad. The operation was reported to have been years in the making and involved tracing and following a courier used by bin Laden. U.S. Navy SEALS were involved but no other information is forthcoming from American authorities about the breakdown of forces and agencies. A number of Americans gathered outside the White House yesterday celebrating the news of bin Laden&#8217;s death. Afghan President Hamid Karzai reacted with satisfaction, saying &#8220;[t]he war against terrorism is in its sources, in its financial sources, its sanctuaries, in its training bases, not in Afghanistan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Colleen Kelly, lost her brother, William Kelly, in the attacks at the World Trade Center and is a member of September 11th families for Peaceful Tomorrows (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.peacefultomorrows.org\">www.peacefultomorrows.org<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Rick Reyes, Vice President of the LA Chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Co-Founder of Veterans for Rethinking Afghanistan (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rethinkafghanistan.com\/veterans\/\">www.rethinkafghanistan.com\/veterans\/<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Ann Wright, retired US Army Colonel, former US Diplomat, were in Afghanistan from Dec 2001 to April 2002, reopening the US embassy, author of Dissent: Voices of Conscience and foreign policy critic <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Robert Dreyfuss, author of Devil&#8217;s Game: How the US Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.robertdreyfuss.com\">www.robertdreyfuss.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Robert Greenwald, founder of Brave New Films, Director of Rethink Afghanistan (www.rethinkafghanistan.org)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Non-Violence (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vcnv.org\">www.vcnv.org<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Osama bin Laden, the purported master mind of the 9-11 attacks, is dead.
