@Njunge,

Really loved that pic, especially the way Obama was watching intensly and his seat slightly away from the table indicating that it was really the Situation room and not some photo opportunity for campaign posters.

@GG, reports indicate that the chest was hit first and then the kichwa...
What was interesting is the recruitment of these fellows, ati they are older soldiers with families...in most cases young turks are taken for such missions, but it is assumed they are prone to error..
From @Guka's pic, seeing the way HC has covered her mouth, think that is the point OBL was spotted and shot at...

Hillary Clinton's WOIYE moment. She is feeling sorry for Osama.

I am of the idea that the guy should have been captured and not brutally murdered like that, even though he has murdered so many, we are in no position as human beings to take away another's life..its against God's law.

@MsMkenya

Macharia Gaitho should have added Martha Karua, KNHCR and Paul Muite to Prof. Alston's name. Am not expecting any of them to comment on Osama death.

Special forces would most likely use stun grenades to immobilize the 'subject' if they want to capture him/her. So clearly, the SEAL's mission team was to 'take out' the target.

Finer details of this Black Ops hit will remain classified for long so as not to blow the cover of the 'humint(s)' who gave away OBL's position, maybe until they and their families are safely sequestered somewhere in the the U.S under a completely new identity. Or until one of the Seals retires and writes a book about it.

Osama didn't see it coming because most likely in the past Ops elements of Pakistani Intelligence have always tipped him off but this time the Americans kept them in the dark.

Couldn't he have committed suicide (ala his followers)when he heard the rotary birds (Black Hawks and maybe an Apache)and known its the Americans?

BTW, didn't OBL actually die of lung complications or kidney disease in early 2000s? Both U.S & Israeli intelligence have reported his death many times in the past!!

Would you know what has been censored on the laptop, maybe a playboy mag? just thinking!
