Market lifts amid rumor that bin Laden's no. 2 has been captured . . . Israeli radio cited.

Like Dan Rather, I have done no independent confirmation. But the market has risen on the story, true or not.

Senator Kerry, don't do a Howard Dean and say this is not good, real good. This would not be smart.

UPDATE: Damn, I thought the headline said bin Laden. But I'll take a triple rather than a grand slam any day.
