A number of news outlets are reporting…

… that there’s big news about Osama Bin Laden.

Killed or captured?

*************************

Update: Bin Laden is dead.

*************************

Remember.

*************************

People are gathering at the White House to celebrate.

*************************

Looks as though there are a lot of GW students among the celebrants.

*************************

From the Gaston Gazette:

[Adam] Royston lives in a dorm just a few blocks away from the White House. He held up his cell phone and chants of “USA, USA” could be heard. He likened Sunday night’s celebration to gatherings for a new government in Egypt.

“There are tons of American flags,” said Royston, who is studying Middle Eastern government at the private school in the nation’s capital. “People are just running for the White House. I just knew that since this is a great day that I had to be there.

“This has got to be the most exciting day at George Washington University in my freshman year.”

**************************************

From the Associated Press:

Twenty-year-old Alex Washofsky came despite finals on Monday at George Washington University. He’s also a member of the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps.

************************************

More GW reaction.

Tomorrow, after she gives a final exam at GW, UD will again visit the Pentagon Memorial. She wrote about it in 2008, here.

    Geraldo Rivera, last night, outside the White House, issued an appeal to GWU faculty to suspend this morning’s exams. A reveling student had a variant on the Master Card commercial … GWU tuition $45K … year in the dorm $10K … Bin Laden ….
