I assumed President Obama contacted GWB earlier in the day to give him the news, and that was just confirmed. GWB wrote a statement that was just read that was short, well-composed and very fitting.

 

Where at?

@darrenrovell May 1, 1945: Hitler confirmed dead. May 1, 2011: Bin Laden confirmed dead. (via @JTalarico328, @DVNJr). 66 years later.

So to clarify just so people reading this thread later don't get wrong info, The President's address confirmed that this happened earlier today — not a week or so ago as had been posted earlier. The intel that had started to pan out beginning back around August (according to Obama) had escalated to the point where the president was apparently involved with 5 briefings in the intel over the last 2 weeks, culminating in the decision that there was actionable intelligence and an order given on Friday to execute the operation.

Wasn't that reward for killing Osama something like 20 million?

 

$25M in the first months and years after 9/11. Unfortunately for the operative that made the kill I am assuming the offer is null and void if you are employed by the US military or intelligence agencies.
