Which will May 1 be remembered for? The day in 2003 when George Bush declared on the USS Abraham Lincoln "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq? Or the day Osama bin Laden was finally brought to justice many miles away from Iraq, in Pakistan, ten years after his attack on the World Trade Center - and eight years to the day after Bush's speech became the symbol of how far astray the War on Terror had gone?
UPDATE: The Drudge Report proclaims the announcement was curiously timed to interrupt "The Apprentice."
If one wants to suggest nefarious timing, this seems a far more obvious event to mark, but so far, the news seems more interested in tying this to "nearly" a 10th anniversary of 9/11. Only four months and some change!
UPDATE II: Atlantic Monthly figures it out.
UPDATE III: It's out now.
