Usama bin Laden is dead, multiple sources confirm to Fox News.
President Obama is expected to deliver a statement from the White House Sunday night to discuss the major development.
Update: This is probably the first speech that this president's given that I, for the most part, liked. When I can find a transcript of it, I'll post my favorite line.
Update #2, 5/2/11: Transcript is here. My favorite line: "[H]is demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity."
