U.S. May Have Killed Bin Laden's Son

A U.S. airstrike in Pakistan may have killed Saad bin Laden, the son of terrorist Osama bin Laden. What do you think?

Young Man

Gene Houser,
Inductor Tester
“It’s always a tragedy when a parent outlives a child, particularly when that parent is Osama bin Laden.”

Old Woman

Julie Long,
Map Clerk
“Perhaps we could rig our military’s drone aircraft to blast Harry Chapin’s ‘Cat’s in the Cradle’ on a loop to break bin Laden’s spirit once and for all.”

Old Man

Adam Sobczak,
Systems Analyst
“First we kill Bin Laden’s son, then we win in Iraq, and pretty soon we’ll have settled the score with everyone who had nothing to do with 9/11.”
