I thought it was funny in today's newspaper describing bin Laden as an old man looking at a small computer screen on a rickety table. I bet in his "hideout" which was a huge compound, bin Laden had a pretty good life and was probably watchiing a huge flat-screen television with satellite coverage of all world-wide channels.
Personally, I think we should demand immediate payback of our foreign aid from Pakistan for them shielding bin Laden - or impose some shock and awe upon them (back to the Stone Age).

We definitely need some explaining from their government on this matter. It's probably not feasible to demand much payback because we depend on their hospitality to coordinate anti-terrorist affairs in their country, and we get it despite the animosity of much of their population. Also we need their government remain as stable as possible in order to keep some control on their nuclear capabilities. It's a logistical "pickle" we're in over there.
Just one more observation on the "home videos" that everyone is talking about, but that I wasn't. I don't think much of bin Laden's "fans" over there are going to be too disheartened in seeing his living conditions, as some have indicated. I don't think too many are living as well as he did.
