Be in the know: Today's political bullet points
Every day we ask influential politicos to send us their top three bullet points that are driving the day's conversation inside and outside Washington.
RedState.Com Editor Erick-Woods Erickson:
– 1 in 7 Americans is on food stamps. Not something to cheer about.
– The changing nature of the bin Laden story is normal in situations like this, but the White House's scrambling and confusion perpetuates the theme that they're amateurs.
– Here's what we know now: information came through enhanced interrogation techniques, the NSA used warrantless wiretaps, we caught the "lynchpin" of the operation in Iraq, and one of the reasons it took us so long to find bin Laden is that he fell off the grid after a lawsuit in American courts revealed how we were monitoring him. I guess there was a method to the Bush/Cheney madness after all.
Firedoglake.com Blogger/Founder Jane Hamsher:
– There's a difference between "war" and "justice" - and bin Laden's death was an act of war.
– With Osama Now Gone, Spend on Building Roads in America Instead of Afghanistan.
– Imagine If the Unemployed Helped Run the Fed.

I really don't think the world will believe Bin Laden is dead. Is this a way for president Obama to try to get relected? Why is he afraid to show the death photos? If we actually killed Bin Laden, won't they retaliate no matter what? come on, show us some proof, so we can believe what out President tells us. Show the photos! We have seen worst in the movies, and they are allowed to be shown. The USA is strong enough to stand behind what we do.
No matter what evidence is released to prove Bin Laden's death, skeptics will question it. There is only one thing that will incontrovertibly prove he's gone: his absence. Soon enough, that will be undeniably clear.
The question is: Who
is the source of
these bogus Osama
images? These idiot
Senators – the body
of second thought
are making decisions about Show/Dont Show without knowing the source? Arew these guys just off the farm?
