Osama bin Laden is dead

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.

I agree.

Well that is all good. However we already have Rush and how many others questioning if he is really dead or if this was a political ploy by the Obama team for future votes.
American people have a right to know certain facts. The military have a right to keep certain facts hidden for all of our safety and the media is bound and determined to get the low down no matter what the cost. And then there are those who say that we never landed on the moon, Elvis is alive and well and living somewhere in the world still eating banana and peanut butter sandwiches and that Jimmy Morrison lives in Paris. And lets not forget those same people think that Rush is a genius.
Enough............... The monster is dead. We have wise people here that tell us not to rejoice lest we look as demented as those that rejoice over our deaths overseas.
I would like to just end with a prayer that our military children remain safe and come home sound.

Wow.....judgmental much?

So, debunking the story for people who doubt it is worth the safety of those who conducted the raid and their families' safety, and burning the technical means used to gather the information is worth it?

It's amazing.
