If you didn't believe the President...

Josh Voorhees has an article at Slate.com giving confirmation of Bin Laden's death, in case you needed it:

Count al-Qaeda among those who believe that U.S. forces killed Osama Bin Laden. The terrorist group confirmed the killing of its leader in a statement posted on militant websites, the Associated Press reports. The posting was the first statement al-Qaeda has made since Bin Laden was killed, and warns of possible retaliation. “The blood of the holy warrior sheik, Osama Bin Laden, God bless him, is too precious to us and to all Muslims to go in vain,” the statement said, according to the AP. “We will remain, God willing, a curse chasing the Americans and their agents, following them outside and inside their countries.” The statement added: "Soon, God willing, their happiness will turn to sadness, their blood will be mingled with their tears."
The post’s authenticity has not yet been independently confirmed, but it was posted on websites that the group is said to frequently use to disseminate information.
The statement, dated 3 May and signed by “the general leadership” of al-Qaeda, opens the way for the group to name a successor to Bin Laden. The current odds-on favorite appears to be Ayman al-Zawahri, who is the group’s most prominent figure now that Bin Laden is dead.
The AP said that the eleven-paragraph statement “struck a tone of calmness and continuation” and was meant to send a message that Bin Laden’s death would not mean the end of al-Qaeda.
“It is impossible, impossible. Sheik Osama didn’t build an organization to die when he died,” the statement read. “The university of faith, the Quran, and jihad from which Bin Laden graduated will not close its doors,” it added.
