Osama Bin Laden is not among the living terrorists any more. But there are so many more. And the worst news, I think, is that the next "big guy" or "man in charge" is supposedly a guy who was born and raised in the United States. When I think of what a great country the U.S. is, even with the problems we have, and the fact that there are people dying to get in here, yet... Someone who had it all, wants to get rid of it all (i.e. the U.S.) I do not understand that mentality.
On another note, of course the media wants every single detail of how the whole mission "went down." And, since there were some discrepancies between the first information, and subsequent information, they wonder what's being "held out." Does anyone ever stop to think that all the frenzy might be stirring the rumor mill? The people on the scene know what happened. As they tell, it, and it gets retold and retold, the facts get distorted, just like any gossip. Let's just be glad the deed has been done.
On a final note, I had heard that the media (or some of them at least) want to know who or which particular Seals were involved and who got in the "shot heard round the world," so to speak. If you ask me, that should be strictly confidential information. It reminds me of when Valerie Plame was "outed" as a CIA operative. You might as well put a bullseye on their backs when you do this sort of thing! Especially the person(s) responsible for Bin Laden. So leave them alone!
And let's just leave it at that on... Day 130!
