Something is fishy about the new Bin Laden book

[z31maniac]

Giving away top secret info about a mission that already happened makes it rather hard for the enemy to prevent that mission from happening, unless they invent a time machine.

Because it could give insights into how our military gains intelligence, modus operandi on timing and execution, etc.

Essentially, it could let the enemy in on how we find them, and make it harder for us in the future.

It ain't rocket science mate.

I get what you're saying. I just think I'd be surprised if the answers to those questions weren't already things which I presume. I think we probably gained the intel either through torture or paying off the right people. I think our timing strategy is probably to do this type of work at night. And I think our execution style involves landing helicopter(s) near the target and having people with guns get out of them and sneak up to the door.

I haven't read the book, but I did catch a little of the 60 minutes yesterday. I heard the part about having to rig their downed helicopter to blow; something which wasn't planned initially but had to be improvised on the spot. I'm not sure how much of the actual high level planning this guy was even privy to.

But I'm no military expert so I should probably shut up now.
