What Does Harry Reid Know And How Does He Know It?

Was Osama bin Laden killed in last month's earthquake in Pakistan? So said Senate minority leader Harry Reid to a Nevada TV station (video here). More than the news itself that the No. 1 Most Wanted could be dead -it's not the first time the speculation arises, and at least until now it has been never confirmed-, it's the possibility that Reid might have disclosed classified information what is has some angry, though others say that there's not much there there since Reid was only speculating

How did Reid come across this information? Was it classified? Did he break the law by leaking classified information?

Considering that this isn't the first time that Reid has leaked classified information to the general public, anything is possible.

Also noted by: Michelle Malkin, Betsy Newmark, Say Anything, Gateway Pundit, Iowa Voice (who wonders if there was a real good reason this information was being kept quiet).

And, if bin Laden is well and truly dead, does this mean that the Democrats will be calling for the troops to come home from Afghanistan next? After all, the mission there is 'done.' The head of the terrorist organization that committed mass murder against the US is now dead. That's the Democratic Party MO lately.

It should be noted that there were numerous stories after the earthquake hit that terrorist camps in Kashmir, Pakistan and Afghanistan were badly affected and that many terrorists may have perished as a result of the quakes, the resulting mud and rock slides, and the loss of roads and communications between groups. In fact, some theorize that bin Laden may have been hiding out near the epicenter of the quake, which hit October 8th.
