Here in Paris (yes, our boat is still stuck in Paris because the people running the locks on the Seine are on a one-day strike), the news of bin Laden’s death was certainly greeted as great news by everyone on the boat (and my record of big news happening while I’m traveling is holding steady). Bing West is giving a great tutorial on Afghanistan as I type. More on that later.

I did like this round up of headlines, courtesy of First Read. You’ve got to love the New York Post.

A round-up of the nation’s headlines:
The New York Times: “Bin Laden killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan, Obama says, declaring justice has been done.”
The Washington Post: “U.S. forces kill Osama bin Laden; Obama:‘Justice has been done’”
The Boston Globe: “Bin Laden dead.”
The L.A. Times: “U.S. kills bin Laden”
The New York Post: “Got him! Vengeance at last! US nails the bastard”
The New York Daily News: “Rot in hell!” (And there’s this: “Osama Bin Laden, Adolf Hitler both declared dead on May 1.”
