Osama bin Laden is dead. Of that, I have no doubt. To question this statement one would have to question the skill and bravery of the Navy SEALS and believe that the master terrorist who occasionally appeared in propaganda videos and audio recordings was capable of perpetually eluding all human and technological intelligence.
The unparalleled success of Sunday’s mission makes President Obama’s decision to not release the bin Laden \”death photographs\” especially confounding. When an event organizer cut off the sound to candidate Ronald Reagan during a debate with George H.W. Bush, Reagan famously said, \”I paid for this microphone!\”

SAYREVILLE — Volunteers with the Sayreville Fire Department participated in a training exercise April 9 with classroom and hands-on instruction centered on vehicle extrication.
Safety & Survival Training (SST) of Bellmawr conducted the Advanced Vehicle Rescue training with help from Continental Fire and Safety Inc. of Trenton and with AMKUS Rescue Systems of Illinois. SST’s fire service instructors are devoted to training firefighters to stay alive. SST’s programs are dedicated to three firefighters who were lost in 2002 in Gloucester City.
The classroom training was given at Sayreville’s President Park Fire House, while the hands-on portion was conducted at the Sayreville Recycling Center. Hydraulic and manual equipment were used, applying the latest technology and procedures, according to a press release from the fire department.
