For evidence there took DNA samples that matched. There was face recognition, height. An I.D. by one of the civilians there referring to the target as Bin Laden. Also, there are pics and video of the operation. They just aren't releasing them right now due to security reasons plus analyzing the data. They don't want to rush releasing information that might compromise doing a similar operation again on a different target. It's been like, what, 24 hours, since the operation - relax and give them some time.
As for hearing the news - surprised. A person doesn't expect to hear news of that magnitude when they wake up. Clearly this is President Obama's wedding gift to William & Catherine; by taking the media's attention off of them to this. Give them so peace. I'm glad that our forces and intelligence networks were able to get him. His death is not the instant victory over Al Qaeda, but it affirmed that the U.S. would hunt those who attack our nation. He may have been close to dying anyways from his poor health but actually killing him sends a message. Retribution may not heal the wounds of the victims of Sept. 11 instantly and fully, or ever. With that, retribution does heal some of the wounds. A day I will not forget.
I haven't seen anything yet, but I'm surprised there aren't protests against the U.S. for doing this unilaterally and without the consent/informing Pakistan before the operation took place. Got to give some props to Obama on that move.
