This Weekend's News:

This weekend's natural security news consisted of just a few pieces barely worth mentioning. The big news is obvious, I'm sure most of you were up much of the night watching the amazing news unfold, and you should spend your time reading about that today. Looks like video of Osama's compound are coming out, and sources like Foreign Policy and The Atlantic have had particularly good pieces. Cheers to all our friends in (and veterans of) the Navy, intel community, Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and law enforcement agencies, etc. It's your day. Hell, it's your year.
