Already, users on Google Maps have posted the suspected site of the compound where bin Laden may have been found.

Although its authenticity has not been confirmed, you can view the suspected structure in the images. Scroll down further for a nighttime photo of hilly Abbottabad, or see http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/02/osama-bin-laden-dead-abbottabad-mansion_n_856206.html">ABC's video from inside the Osama Bin Laden kill site.

5. If the footage from Pakistani TV on You Tube was really it
(and I can't vouch for it because I don't understand a word of Urdu), it will have some fire damage, holes in the walls and roof, and bunged up exterior, and you can pick it up for a song now. Just be aware that the rehab cost will be considerable.

15. Or Howardville.
 You guys probably don't know that the puns you have created
are references to the present conservative leader of an
Australian political party and the 'Costelloville' refers to
the teasurer of the former conservative government. But I
liked it.

9. That pegged the weird-o-meter. There's an 'Army Burnhall College' in Pakistan? Oh, well.
