Elite Fighting Force Commander's Account of OBL Kill Mission
Submitted by Jinc on Mon, 10/06/2008 - 05:38
I found this clip particularly interesting. This is a "60 Minutes" interview with someone they acknowledge to be the Commander of the elite Delta Force. Not very long, moves smoothly and shows some footage of the Afghan/ Pakistan border filmed by Deltas themselves during the mission that before now you really needed to have friends in high places to see . The bottom line is nothing new. The gist is "we had him in our sights but they tied our hands"- but the interview is none-the-less fascinating and provides some insight into how the operation directly after 9/11 was conducted.

This guy seems legitimate
It sounds like the cia, or higher-ups, didn't want OBL killed or captured - which is what many suspected. Ordering them to let the Mujahideen lead them was obviously a dumb idea.
