“If you see it, shoot it. It is a house full of bad guys.”

A fascinating account of the intelligence and maneuvers of the Navy SEALs' bin Laden operation:
"The main three-story building, which had no telephone lines or Internet service, was impenetrable to eavesdropping technology deployed by the National Security Agency.

U.S. officials were stunned to realize that whenever Kuwaiti or others left the compound to make a call, they drove some 90 minutes away before even placing a battery in a cellphone. Turning on the phone made it susceptible to the kind of electronic surveillance that the residents of the compound clearly wished to avoid."

The late US Army Green Beret Colonel (and founder of the Delta Force) Charles Beckwith had a plaque on his desk, "Kill 'em all; let God sort 'em out."

In the Great Spiritual Beyond, no doubt Charlie Beckwith is rejoicing over the Abbotabad raid.
