You can use the open command (see the man page for details):
open -a Internet\ Explorer http://www.cnn.com
Ah, even better. Don't tell the system to launch IE with a certain
URL as the argument, tell it to open a certain URL with IE as the
preferred app.
or, if you don't want to specify a particular app:
open http://www.cnn.com
...and the site will appear in the user's preferred browser.
I love this feature and I should have remembered it. :)
AppleScript is the way to go for killing IE, though.
