This is a serious question....
What types of secrets could he divulge? Technical stuff?
I would think he would be able to give a pretty clear, layman’ description.
As a person unfamiliar with what stuff would be classified, I have alway been curious how much more could come about a mission so well publicized.
As I wrote, I am serious about this question and would welcome someone educating me about it.
“In a “cover story” all elements are nominally true” - GL
Not necessarily!
AND shared classified data with film producers. . .
My guess is that this is all about not antagonizing Muslims.
“As a person unfamiliar with what stuff would be classified”
The only thing you need to understand is that if something was classified, but politically useful to Obama, it was immediately de-classified/disclosed.
At this point, the only thing that points to not airing it now is the unit cohesion part of these sort of operations. If everyone knows that they or someone else is participating thinking of some future publicity/revenue opportunity, it distracts from the operation at hand.
But Obama is a liar and a political opportunist - counting on SEALS to keep their mouths shut and not expose his lying. It’s probably a decent bet on his part - but it surely has it’s limits. Maybe this is that limit.
Osama bin Biden has been under 50 million tons of Tora Bora rubble lo these many years.
the ever ready to be offended ...muslims...are a force to be reckoned with.
we need to determine just how we need to reckon with them.
it may be be self preservation. Its his choice...biut it might not be mine.
Thankfully I’m not in the position to need to make that call.
Obie doesnt like his thunder to be impinged.... on must less stolen...
shining a light on anything relative to bin laden would seem at this point to be further solidifying his martyrdom in the eyes of the “muuslim world”
so very much has been ...voided....during the reign if this administration hasnt it..
I’d suspect that there would be scant few viewers for that kind of “spectacle”.
bin laden disappeared far far quicker than.. Timothy McVeigh...and the rubble of the Murrow Building..
there is that “minor” issue...
Including the ID of the Pakistani Dr. who confirmed Bin Laden was in the compound.
That Dr. now sits in a prison in Pakistan.
Shameful.
