Bin Laden skull blown apart, official says
Infamous al Qaeda leader shot above left eye in U.S. raid, blowing away part of his skull

WASHINGTON - Osama bin Laden was shot above his left eye and the bullet blew away part of his skull, a U.S. official says. He was also shot in the chest.

The precision kill shot was delivered by a member of the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six during a pre-dawn raid Monday on bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.

Photos of bin Laden's injuries were transmitted to Washington as proof that the mission was a success.

The administration is still weighing whether to release photos of bin Laden's corpse and video of his swift burial at sea.

1. The official should be fired. If they are not authorized then why speak?

2. Maybe Obama's National Security Advisor can resurrect the
White House Plumbers to stop all the damned leaking. While they're at it, they can burglarize Bradley Manning's shrink's office to get the goods on him.

At this point, nothing would surprise me.
