• bin Laden (continued from page 4)
“I think it’s a fine day myself,” Camp said. “It’s not going to stop terrorism, though. It might slow it down.” Camp also said he figured bin Laden was in a high-class place since he was a millionaire. Local WWII Army veteran Howard Greene also said he always believed bin Laden would be found in a hotel somewhere. “We’re all tickled that this has happened,” said Greene. Bin Laden’s decade on the run came to an end when elite American forces, Navy Seals, went by helicopter to a compound in Pakistan. Soldiers killed bin Laden, reportedly with a shot to the head. Also killed were bin Laden’s son, two other men and a woman that bin Laden used as a shield, according to national reports. There were no U.S. casualties.

United States by terrorists. “There will probably be retaliation world-wide, not just us,” Camp said. Reid said he believes it could go either way. Terror leadership could be worried and take time to regroup, find another leader and retaliate later or there could be orders already in place, he said. Reid said he has trained with the best of soldiers and doesn’t have a doubt in his mind the U.S. military will do everything possible to protect Americans. Asked where he thought bin Laden had been for past almost 10 years, Reid said bin Laden was so experienced in hiding and moving, he doesn’t think he stayed anywhere very long. From his research, Reid said, bin Laden was always very secretive and moved around his whole life. “I believe over time he’s gotten more bold,” said Reid. “I’m just glad we got him and it was in direct contact. As far as ideal situations, this was ideal.”
