Some Assorted Thoughts on the Bin Laden Raid

4 May 11

1. The government would have been better served by revealing far fewer details about the recent raid.

2. The operation is a great example and reminder of the value of being a quiet professional.

3. Discovering Bin Laden's location could be considered lucky, however the time and resources spent towards this pursuit were so great that it was only a matter of time before the stars aligned and enough leads panned out.

4. While I don't think Obama deserves any credit for *finding* Bin Laden, the decision to undertake the raid was incredibly gutsy.

5. Burial at sea was a stroke of genius.

6. The whole stealth helicopter thing is awesome.

7. If you didn't think Twitter was great before, you surely must now. Game changer.
