First I'd love to see some proof that Osama was behind the attacks. The only proof I saw was a video supposedly found in Afghanistan in a house. Who found it? Very fishy.
Maybe this is just America's excuse to leave Afghanistan because its unwinnable. They can't look weak and pull out so they'll say he's dead and we're leaving. Troops come home, Obama gets reelected. ... maybe?

Sounds like a winner to me...troops coming home the most important part. I'll keep hoping.

What i find most interesting is that this wikileaks information has not hit say the BBC for example and broadcast into the mainstream. If i were to go into work tomorrow and say well i am sorry to say that a nuke will be used in the next few months in revenge for OBL's death i would be quite rightly deemed as being full of disinformation etc. So i reckon media outlets which have seen all of the wikileaks documents have had D notices slapped on them, the BBC and Sky News certaintly here in the UK. For those of you living outside the UK a D notice is basically a govenment/military gagging order over news stories that would be a threat to national or global security. It could be a short term thing or a long term thing depending on what the event was, ie a military raid or something like the nuke scenerio. I am sure the D Notice has been used many times in the past which we will never get to know. I bet it was used alot in the Cold War for example.
