Hmm, after that burst of news, nothing seems to have happened. I don't usually print rumors on this site, but when I received my phone call the other day saying that OBL had been captured, I blogged believing that the news would be out that evening. I wanted to be two hours ahead of time. Now it turns out nothing has come of it.
Strange, because the news came from a reliable source who had not called if the rumor hadn't been confirmed (which it was by a workmate's father in the DOHS.) My father, who has cable (I don't), says that CNN was reporting the news to be a hoax, yet I haven't seen anything on the Net about it in any way. I don't get anything on Google News search either.
What's stranger is that the few other people in Washington that I email occasionally (some of them are publish the blogs to your right on the screen) had not even heard of the rumors, let alone have any opinion on them.
What has happened in Pakistan over the last day is that the country has granted amnesty to tribal leaders for protecting or harboring Al-Qaeda members. No mention of our friend Osama. Hmmm.
Anyway, I hope I didn't look like a fool. More info as it happens, but remember take it all with a pinch of salt.
