Thank you for reminding that.

Wow: Even the Wall Street Journal is cracking jokes on Bin Laden.

In the best of the web feature for Friday, at the end of it there is a discussion on an article from London's Guardian reporting that Laden overpaid for his place: The Administration claimed it was a million buck place, the local appraisers say its closer to a quarter of that.

So, the journals writer points out that:

"Assuming bin Laden made the customary 20% down payment and took out a mortgage for $800,000 in 2005, he's going to be underwater for a long time."
