@keithurbahn Keith Urbahn So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden. Hot damn. 42 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry
According to the Twitter-sphere, President Obama is about to announce the death of Osama Bin Laden, in an impromptu announcement broadcast on Whitehouse.gov this Sunday night at 10:45 EST.
This news is actually spreading like wildfire before the broadcast on Twitter where the first sign of confirmation came when Keith Urbahn, the Chief of Staff for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, tweeted “I’m told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden.”
“Osama Bin Laden” is now a Twitter trending topic.
CNN and the New York Times have just confirmed. Wow this news isn’t even out yet and it is already old.
Updating.

Obama delayed to get the cheerleaders out in front of the White House, while that I sit here remembering how Clinton had him and let him go. Anybody recall that?
The man who earned this get along with his beloved military is the retired Commander in Chief in Dallas. GWB. Hats off, W. Your guys did it!
This was a good leak. It stole the thunder from the stage hogging jackarse Obama.
Obama was probably delayed waiting on the teleprompter.
Quick quiz:
Interpol issued international arrest warrant for OBL in 1998, three years before 9/11
What country requested it?
It seems pretty obvious who that ‘reputable person’ is, considering who this young fellow works for. Looks like in reality Rumsfeld broke this story, and I wouldn’t really be surprised if he actually knew before the president did.
Pakistan?
Libya
