A Pathetic Death

Osama Bin Laden is believed to have died of typhoid (via Instapundit):

Saudi intelligence services have determined that terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in August, the French regional daily L’Est Republicain reported on its website on Saturday.

The newspaper said it based its information on a document classified ‘defence secret’ originating in the French DGSE intelligence services. ...

The document goes on to say that bin Laden’s geographical isolation rendered all medical assistance impossible.
The leader of AQ, cowering in fear off in some godforsaken place, dies of an easy to treat ailment. I don't know if it's true, but it does seem fitting.

May his heart have turned before he died and may his followers turn theirs as well.

UPDATE: Well put:

Whether he's actually dead, who knows? I rejoiced in the death of Zarqawi, and I'll be delighted by the death of bin Laden. But these are not ancient Nazis hiding in the jungles of Brazil. The deaths of individual jihadists do not end their murderous "religious" philosophy. Until that philosophy is defeated and discredited, guys like Zarqawi, bin Laden, and Zawahiri will be as replaceable as copies of Sayyid Qutb's rantings.

Mayybe someone's trying to smoke him out of hiding, since all the leads to where he is have gone cold.
