If true I would hope it wasn't immediate, but that he had time to reflect on his choices.

A Hellfire missle sent him to greet his 72 Virginians. Buh-bye.

Great news if this puke is dead, but it would have been nicer to capture him, try him for treason, and execute him. It would have made an example for anyone in America who ever contemplated doing what he did, and would have given the rest of our home-grown traitors (Michael Moore, Keith Olbermann, etc.) a little reason to worry.

That would be some good PR if we did. This string of missile attacks also indicates that we're hitting the middle-to-upper levels of al-Qa'ida effectively, and working our way through their safehouse network.

The safety of Waziristan is a double edged sword. It's a great place to hide, until they pick up your trail. Then it's a great place to die without warning.
