Good answer!What team? Please, ma'am, I do not know anything.

That's not the same thing. Do you really expect undercover police to infiltrate gangs and other criminal groups by making themselves known?If you don't know how their identity was revealed, just say so.
Yes, I say that about terrorism to everyone. I also say something similar to people who are afraid to go out of their neighborhood because of crime.
It was someone who was present in the situation room.Who's the idiot that released that information? It sounds like a total failure of security. Someone should be held responsible. I think that even embedded journalists with regular military is a bad idea.
There was a mission, and it was a success. Leaking information about the conduct of the mission can jeopardize future missions.I don't get it... how can you say that there's no mission if bin Laden was killed and the mission partially failed with original plan (helicopter went down) and the media will find out by investigating how it was executed.
No one knows who they are. And I don't expect their identities to be known.
Yeah, I remember that! (I think it was Libya.) He's hard to keep up with.I knew that the freaking situation room was a bad idea.
Geraldo is crazy. Recently, he went to Egypt and just about got shot by the rebels.

I hope the media won't find out. If people keep quiet, they shouldn't find out.
My bad. I thought you were referring to the SEALs and their families, not to Americans in general.You're confusing two issues. First, the identities of undercover people should not be revealed and consequences should exist for doing it. That should have applied to Valerie Plame too but that's a different thread. It someone is "outed" then the government should protect him/her.
Second, a completely different issue, all Americans should not let the terrorists win by giving them power over our lives. The second issue is more about our American attitude. And it has nothing to do with undercover people at all. We all have to adjust to a new reality.
Now that I've clarified that, I must get some rest.
This is an ongoing war, and there are still a lot of the leaders and contacts that we want to catch. If they know how we go about catching them, they can take measures to avoid capture.I don't understand. Explain how the "conduct" could jeopardize the future missions? We already know a lot of missions in the past. How can we possibly not know if something happened and say, "there was no mission!"
I sure hope no identity is revealed and those who do should be accountable for it.
Let's stay on topic please.Glad to see people here actually condoned the assassination of OBL. Good riddance.

The leaks have to stop. Who released the information about the porn that was found in the compound? Why was that necessary?
No more information from the raid should be released until all the data has been analyzed and put to use in the form of successful follow-up missions. Even then, it shouldn't be released without great care. To do so would be reckless.
No problem.I considered this a military operation. OBL was a target of the operation, just a different uniform.
Sorry for the hijacking...:topic:
