SpecOps people know full well when they battle to get the jobs that they have that they will gain little if any notoriety for what they're doing. That's not why they do it.

By broadcasting who did it, if someone gets an Alpha roster for that unit, you've given the terrorists new targets, including the family members of the troops on the raid.

The whole announcement is bad news, because they have revealed methods and sources to the open media, and given the next leader a lesson in how not to get caught.

It should have been a simple statement that UBL has been killed, we have confirmation, and for operational reasons we will not be releasing specifics on how the mission was accomplished.
