Terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has gone to his reward.
Update Haw! The Washington Post struggles to capture the mot juste, at first referring to Ol' Baggy Pants in an earlier headline as an "austere religious scholar".
I can see the headline that today's Post writers would have concocted on the death of Joseph Stalin: "Ex-seminarian Joseph Stalin, dead at 74".
Update: As friend and commenter JeffS points out, the sugar-coated headline came later. Perfect.

A correction, Paco, as the Washington (com)Post toned their headline down, as per Twitchy:
They had it right the first time.
The Washington Post changed the headline on its Al-Baghdadi obituary from “Islamic State’s terrorist-in-Chief” to “austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State.”
This leaves no doubt whose side the Washington (com)Post is on. . . and it’s not the same side as the Delta Force operators!
Must have been a fun raid. It sounds like al-Baghdadi had a blast, anyway.
Well, that's him all over.
Yeah, I've heard he spread himself too thin.
BTW, there's a Twitter hashtag with more Postian headlines: Here on Twitchy
From twitter:
'BREAKING: Lower court rules Trump administration must unkill ISIS leader."
Well, he did go out with a bang.
