The elite Navy SEAL fighters responsible for capturing and killing Osama bin Laden returned to the United States today. Before their return, a trove of information seized by the SEALS arrived at a FBI laboratory.
The SEALs, members of elite Team Six, arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C., sources told ABC News.
The arrival of the military members comes amid news that President Obama will not release photos of bin Laden's corpse. Obama administration officials believe the photos could pose a national security risk and endanger Americans living in the United States and abroad.
A trove of information seized in the 40-minute raid that left bin Laden dead arrived at an FBI laboratory in Quantico, Va., between Monday night and Tuesday, sources told ABC News. At least five computers, 10 hard drives and more than 100 digital media items, including disks, DVDs and thumb drives, traveled more than 7,000 miles to the FBI facility.
In addition to the digital media and paper documents, the Navy SEALs also took guns and a number of other items from the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound. Those guns have been checked for fingerprints, which will be run through a huge intelligence database that culls fingerprints from terrorist safe houses and the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Why are we even talking about this
I hate the freaking U.S. media.
Why don’t they back off and realize how important it is for these men to remain anonymous?
Idiots, all of them.
Who would do it? Valerie Jarret.
I love how the media is beaming this information to the world. Let’s draw road maps to their houses, too. Why would anyone be told these guys were arriving at point x or y? Who leaked the name of the team that carried out the mission? There was no need for that.
Sometime in the year prior to 9/11, I read a Nelson DeMille book that gave me chills. I think it was Lion’s Game. Anywho, I’m reminded of the book now. :(
Thanks guys!!
Maybe ABC news should STFU!
Loose lips will get our men killed.
I really hate the the MSM!
He was even happier because Osama was taken out by SEALS...He's an old Navy Man!!
I blame the military for letting the traitorous CommieMedia even know a whiff about the where/what/who and when of these American heroes.
The hissing queers in the media will report on anything and everything. The Defense Department should have shut them out.
Wouldn’t it be terrible if some “terrorists” targeted ABC news?
also their parents, wives and kids
oh. and the schools their kids attend
transparency, and all that
That is a very good question.
Y’all watch - this moron President will have them up on a stage within a week, so that all the world can see who they are. Including the Islamofascists that are bent on getting even. Obambi and his idiot savants in the media are accomplices to any future crime that occurs to these men or their families.
Remember when Jimmah Carter decided to show how pro military he was by realeasing the plans for stealth technology to the whole world?
This whole Osmama thing s sortof like that.
I am utterly flabbergasted by how...ENTHUSIASTICALLY.....the media has suddenly embraced “pro war”, bloodthursty, downright HAWKISH attitudes. It’s absolutely UNREAL. Yeah. Unreal describes this whole thing pretty well.
I’d say they deserve one hell of a good steak dinner, and a beer(or few)!!
Unless it involves an illegal alien's birth certificate, or a democRAT's college transcripts and writings. Then they can keep a secret.
Back in Desert Storm I CBS had reporters watching the bombers depart for raids and giving the ETA over Baghdad. I was livid and called CBS to complain they were endangering our military. They hung up on me. I learned then they are NOT on our side.
Obama doesn't want to show OSL’s picture because it's not who we are” (wonder how long it took to come to agreement on that Sound Bite) .....but his Administration leaks this kind of information that puts all our Heroes in harms way?
I guess that's the kind of people THEY are!
Or maybe Seal Team 6! How about a “colonoscopy” with an M-4 on live TV. Now that I’d even tune in to ABC to watch.
