In an interview with PBS, Mr Panetta said: “Once those teams went into the compound I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes where we really didn't know just exactly what was going on. And there were some very tense moments as we were waiting for information.

That is probably not true. If it were, then all the billions of dollars spent with Lockheed, BAE, etc. for C3 systems by the Pentagon and CIA were wasted. The whole point of those systems is to feed real time data back to the commanders in the USA. IF they really did fail that's more significant news than the outcome of the mission itself.

You make an excellent point. The knowledgeable freepers put the MSM to shame....in a big way.
