Seems as though it may be something the Prez wants to break and it is big enough that it would be impossible to keep quiet for very long.
I agree. It MAY be something about OBL...or not. Certainly if SOCOM captured OBL, or found his body, only the US would know about it near-term. Eventually the word would leak from the terrorists...but their means of transmission is limited and would take a few days to reach Al Jazeera etc.
I'm sticking to the opinion that it's a BIG announcement in the WOT. The 911 families sealed that opinion for me.
