It's always good when a murderer is caught and brought to trial but this is really a small event in the great scheme of things.

The government very much wants us to believe that groups like Al'Qaida and Jemaah Islamiah have a head - and if you chop off that head, you start to win the war. In reality the capture of Hambali or OBL really won't have any material effect upon those groups - they'll mourn the loss on the first day - and carry on 'business as usual' the next.

Tell me - would the US abandon the 'War on Terror' if Bush was assassinated? Would the 'War on Terror' be interrupted for more than a few seconds?
I think not.
