Osama bin yawnin'

What I find most notable about the elimination of Osama bin Laden is how underwhelming the whole thing is. There is of course a swoon of the media, thankful for something to emote about, and there's plenty of 'told ya so' going on about the Gitmo and enhanced interrogation. But after all, the bearded Bozo was mostly shut out of the contest anyway. Others have taken over. It's fair that he's dead, but the world's no safer a place (maybe a bit better). Also, everyone is claiming that water-boarding and the like led to this 'success'. The original argument for enhanced interrogation was timelines of info needed to prevent catastrophic killings. It's been ten years now, so it's not like there was any hurry. Furthermore, if proponents of such interrogation techniques don't view them as torture, then why bother defending them now?
