I'll bet Al Queda leaders everywhere have been sleeping lightly these last few days.
And yes, color me disappointed and shocked at how much is being shared. I haven't been comfortable at all with the constant talking about all of the "data" we retrieved from the house.
whatever info intelligence puts out on the materials they found at Osama's hideout is likely to be a little bit true, enough to sound plausible, and very misleading, disinformation is a very important part of the game

U.S. President Barack Obama ignored all the ethical criteria, and murdered bin Laden in order to achieve success at any price in advance of the elections. Even someone who prefers Obama to his opponents has good reason to fear the cynicism that Obama demonstrated in the bin Laden affair.
The legal aspect is also clear. Murder in cold blood (especially in a foreign country ) contradicts the principles of international law, but thanks to military, economic and political power - and not for reasons of principle - there is no chance that Obama will have to pay for it. The murder of bin Laden now enables many governments the world over, including the Israeli government, to continue to slaughter civilians and to explain the act by referring to the Obama precedent.
Washington no longer has the moral authority to preach to other countries about arbitrary acts of murder for the sake of political or economic interests. Some 38 years after giving the fascists in Chile a green light to murder elected president Salvador Allende, Washington is now adopting the "direct operation," to use the old fascist expression.
I wonder how many times this line is going to be repeated.

How is it murder in cold blood if he was resisting capture and was possibly armed with a bomb vest?
