    interesting. i read the way they got to that courier was through those dudes at gitmo, and that info was acheived through waterboarding. if no waterboarding no info.
    I don't think that justifies waterboarding. While it may point out the efficacy of torture, it doesn't justify it morally, in my eyes.

    White House press briefing just now:

    Osama used his wife as a human shield during the gun fight.

    What a little (Osama, not his wife).
    she was probably tiny. he shoulda married a san antonio chick. zing

    I was watching CSI Miami when it happened. Why couldn't Obama have waited like 10 to 15 minutes? His speech cut off the ending of CSI Miami. I wanted to know if Jan from The Office was the killer. I bet a lot of old people were pissed that Barry had to cut into CSI Miami.
    First off, I think this whole Bin Laden being dead thing is su ious. They destroyed pretty much most of the evidence of the raid including Bin Laden's body. And why the was that piece of given a Muslim funeral? Who the cares if he gets a funeral? Did Tim McVeigh get a funeral after he was executed? Nope. Whether or not if it really happened, this really helps Barry in a lot of ways. It may have sealed the deal on his re-election. However, I do think it's possible that he may have played this card too early. For the record, I believe that terrorists especially pieces of like Osam don't deserve funerals. And I also think it was stupid for Osama to be killed. What about all the information that the CIA could have gotten from him if he had caved and gave them information?

    So how long will this current Obama lovefest happen? And isn't it funny how this makes people forget about how ed up the economy is and how hard it is to get a job right now? And everyone's pretty much forgotten about the tornado victims in Alabama and other parts of the south.

    Osama ed up the economy by attacking the financial center, then getting Bush to launch 2 wars. Killing him doesn't fix our money troubles, but it sure feels good.

    So you know everything that happened on 9/11? I just think it might have been more beneficial if he had been kept alive at least for a little bit. Obama just showed his true colors. He's a conservative pretending to be a liberal.

    Yeah so does every- ing-body else in the world, but if you're in the middle of a firefight are you gonna let more Americans die just so that got can be taken alive?

    Innocent people die every day. Besides, the U.S. government could live with it. They've done it before.

    Some White Knuckle Moments for Elite Navy SEALs Team

    http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpu...eals-team.html


    The Navy SEALs team that conducted this operation was the legendary Team Six, aka DevGru, or the “Naval Special Warfare Development Group,” flown into Pakistan by helicopter teams from the 160th Special Operations Air Regiment, part of the Joint Special Operations Command.

    The original plan was for the Navy SEALs to rappel down into the compound, and that’s how they practiced it in April on a replica of the compound the military constructed in the U.S. on which SEALs Team Six conducted two practice runs.

    But Sunday, one of the helicopters had an issue – they’re not sure what as of now – and conducted a soft crash landing. The chopper hit the deck – “it was a real white-knuckle moment,” a US official tells ABC News.

    Another white-knuckle moment – at the end of the operation, Pakistan’s military scrambled fighter jets looking for the US helicopters. Who knows what could have happened if the Pakistani planes had reached the US helicopters -- but they didn’t.

    The US team got back to Afghanistan by around 5:45 pm ET.

    This operation happened, an official said, because of dogged, relentless intelligence work. For years, from detainees at Gitmo, the CIA had the nom de guerre of the courier, but they didn’t have his true name until 2007.

    Intel spotted him in early 2009 – it took a while to follow him . Last August when intel found the compound the reaction was along the lines of “Oh my God who are they hiding here?” a official said, recalling definite recognition this was a significant find. Congressional leaders were briefed about the compound in December.

    One possible complication: While CIA contractor Ray Davis was in the Pakistani prison there were concerns about his safety were this mission to be conducted.

    Davis’s March 16 release cleared that possible obstacle to the operation -- a kill mission, with the clear objective to kill bin Laden.

    I for one am not buying the justification for burying him at sea. It reaks with cover up. Why don't they just admit. He was unarmed, in the bathroom hooked up to his dialysis machine, and some Pakistani security guard shot him in the back with a deer rifle. Instead they have to come up with this glamorous, "shot in the head while returning fire." scenario Complete with black hawk down helicopter and Navy seals.

    Couple of days from now Al Qaeda will produce some video of Osama tooling around some mountains with his cane saying he's not dead. We needed that body as leverage.

    Uhm.. pretty sure there's evidence of a downed helicopter.

    But I guess dumb people can believe what they want.

    I'm just saying that you can't always 100 percent believe everything you hear from this government. They've been hiding from us for over 200 hundred years.

    That said, the question stands, do you really doubt that the GOP will take great steps to minimize this before the election?
    They'll definitely try and minimize Obama's credit, but I'd bet they're more likely to do that by accentuating their own part in it (law changes in intelligence gathering, etc, etc, whatever they can reasonable claim affected it, and of course Bush chasing him into a corner or something).

    I don't think they'll try and say Obama didn't do anything (or very little), just that he stood on their framework.
