Puts all the jubilation in perspective when we think of what the Bushies made this cost...

3. Navy Seals? Buried at sea? But killed in a remote mountain
area near the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan? And there were two helicopters? What an odd story.

4. it will be interesting when more details are eventually leaked
drip by drip.... I'm deeply skeptical of the entire story, but I'm also open to actual evidence, which I'm doubtful we'll ever see. I do appreciate Schaill's accounting of the backdrop of Joint Special Operations forces (?) and it's role in these operations and reminder of how and why they would tasked.

6. JSOC - Joint Special Operations Command

Fort Bragg/Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina - McChrystal's during Bush admin.

This week, I noticed subtle peculiarities in air traffic here. I said to myself "hmm, I wonder what's up?"

11. Yes. There may be technical reasons for what they claim to have done.
And the story may be true in its broad strokes but not in certain details. Besides, we don't know the details yet.

As I think about it, I wonder what else they would have done with OBL's body? They could not bury it in Pakistan or Afghanistan, and what other country would have wanted to host his grave? Certainly not anywhere in the US. But it seems like a long way to carry a body.

7. We will see as more info comes out BUT...

Sometimes things are the way they government describes them...All I am saying is not everything is a conspiracy or a lie. So, while I want to know all the facts I am also open to the story being true.

If there was ever a "Targeted Assassination" that I could support this would be it!
