For me, this actually puts a huge +1 in the "Pro" column when it comes to the discussion of whether it was smart to conduct a ground operation vs an aerial strike on this target. Bin Laden may not have been operationally very relevant, but one must wonder what kind of information he would have had on him. Safe houses, financial donors, government contacts? I'm truly excited to find out what kind of information they found (even though I'm sure that won't be public knowledge for along time).
What does everyone think? Could this be the biggest compromising force Al Qaeda can face? Are they simply too spread out for much damage to be done?
I really hope in the next few weeks we start hearing about raids occurring world wide to take out the SOBs who have been funding this organization and who might be funding organizations like it.
Terror-stricken al-Qaeda terrorists are probably on the move, fearing the sudden arrival of helicopters overhead and Navy SEALs blasting through their doors, as America’s best intelligence minds scour Osama bin Laden’s computers for data they can use to smash the deadly Islamic extremist network, experts said yesterday.
Navy SEALs grabbed 10 hard drives, five computers and more than 100 storage devices, including flash drives, DVDs and documents. The SEALs also confiscated phone numbers from bin Laden’s body.And if panicked jihadis are indeed bolting from compromised safe houses, they could be vulnerable.
