The Death of UBL and Capture of Abu Anas al Libi are huge successes for the USG.

I would love to see some of these documents to better understand the inter workings of al Qaeda wouldn't you?

Definitely, one thing I learned is that AQ are very good at adapting. We have always been on the reactive side since they really fight unconventionally.
I remember we were close to tracking UBL when a congressman trying to look good in front of the cameras mentioned that we could track cell phones. The next day they stopped using phones and we were out of luck.
Hopefully we can study it and keep our mouths shut!

Excellent point, LTC David S. Chang, ChFC®, CLU®. I watch CNN a fair amount, and I am amazed at the information they release. I've seen them go so far as to say something like this: "Well, Expert So-and-so, that terrorist attack failed, but what could the terrorists have done to succeed?" And then the expert will hold forth on how American or Allied weaknesses that might be exploited. I say there's free speech and then there's just plain stupid. This is the latter, in case there's any doubt.

I'm curious to know what the documents say.....not interested if they are just love letters though.
But, I wonder if any other RP members think we are better off he died prior to the trial? We better off that he didn't have a platform (a trial) to spread propaganda? How much $$$ do you think we saved by not having to go through with the trial and incarceration?
