Members of Navy SEAL team 6, the Special Operations unit responsible for killing Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden in Pakistan last Sunday, have expressed concerns about their safety and the safety of their families now that details of the mission have been made public.
Speaking to Marines at Camp Lejeune Thursday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the concerns were expressed to him directly a week ago when he met with members of the unit to congratulate them on their mission. Gates said the SEALs were mainly focused on their families and worried they could be subject to retaliatory attacks.

Don’t forget the ‘treasure trove’ of information we found that the enemy now knows we have!

Yep, saying Obama is president is like saying a statutory rapist is the girls’ daddy by her consent.

If it comes to releasing a photo of the seal team members,
than merely photo-edit each one to show comrade obama's
face. I can not image that BO would want it any other way.

This regime is going to make the SEAL team and their families pay dearly for doing their job and getting it done. Obama is pissed of we had to destroy a helicopter like his buddy Carter did during his regime.

The information needed releasing was the fact a raid had occurred {no need to even know by what branch}, location, and he was killed {confirmed by photo's of body and DNA}. That simple process would have been sufficient. Releasing the branch involved was bad enough. Releasing the unit name of the team and the ship he was tossed from was wrong. This is a serious breach of what should be classified information as it involved special operations.
Second Option which would have been as beneficial would have been to have never released his death to start with. Sitting back and watching them scramble would have been interesting and may have harvested even more intel in the mayhem.

If the Spec Ops commanders had any ba11s, he would issue stateside orders for then to conceal carry 24/7.
