Great! Now he'll get whats coming to him-- according to our kind and gentle policy that's three square meals (halil at that), five times for prayer and eight hours of sleep a day. Dang I don't even get that!AllahPundit and Michelle Malkin point out that this is a bigger story than the Osama is dead rumor! I'd be nice but the rumor is unconfirmed. All the same, Carol at The Median Sib has an idea where he's headed!
