And is this in some sense the information theoretic version of Maxwell's
demon in thermodynamics?

[Mohammed El-Beltagy]

A few rhyming lines that came to mind after hearing about OBL's killing.

On the death of a terroristy

No glory in slaying a monster you made
No joy! The debt of injustice must be paid!
What justice and honor and values you state?
Feed anger with hate, but will hatred abate?
Why celebrate? Why smile and congratulate?
Enjoy the night...
But when you wakeup, I beg you: remember before it is too late!
