Osama's Hideout Gets 3 Out of 5 Stars on Google Maps

Many submitters have pointed out that Osama bin Laden's hideout is getting a lot of reviews on Google Maps. Some of my favorites of the 600+ so far include: "The hotel is obviously doing quite well, as evidenced by the fact that the cleaning crew is actually helicoptered in each evening, and in fact they go so far as to destroy any furniture that they feel is outdated or in need of repair," and "Privacy was great...until being leaked out on the Playstation Network."

    You may rest assured it was made in China, that's cool.

    Who exactly, thinks this dump is a mansion?

    The millions who live nearby.

    How your post gets modded will say an awful lot about Slashdot, and its ability to deal with differing opinions in a rational way.

    Everyone who gloats about this in any way, including writing "funny" reviews, is somewhat less than human.

    Not that I feel sorry or wish he'd still be alive. Snap out of that "black and white", "with us or against us" mindset you brainwashed drone.

    I strongly believe the adequate reaction is a solemn acknowledgement of the fact that there is now one dangerous man left on the planet. Though how dangerous exactly he was in the past past years and for the future is a matter of debate, but we can ignore that.

    But gloating? Happiness? Celebration? You're not an inch better than the muslims that celebrated 9/11.
