I'm not sure if the military folks here already knew about this, but CNN and other sources are reporting this morning that Mullah Mukhtar Mohammed Osmani, a Taliban leader and purported bin Laden associate, was killed last Tuesday in a US airstrike near the Afghan-Pakistani border.
Update: The Associated Press have finally posted this story here, a good 10 hours after it was broken by other sources. They seem to have spent the time rounding up quotes from Taliban officials and others (including, perhaps inevitably, an unnamed local police chief) to add some.... balance to the story.

"Suppose you were a congressman, and suppose you were an idiot. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
For some reason, I was reminded of the fellow jumping up and down on the manhole cover yelling "49! 49! ...".
A jihadist stopped him and asked what he was doing. "Hiding evil. 49! 49! ..." The jihadist demanded to look inside. Opening the manhole, the jihadist leaned over and peered in, only to receive a nice shove into the darkness.
"50! 50! ....'
Evil men hide from the truth, but good men stand upon it.
