Bear with me.
After seeing KO last night, I felt like he set himself up for more criticism from Fox/News Corp/Republican "think" tanks, which is fine because he does not need to make a career out of this. If liberals need tv then they are lost (another topic)
Consider...
1) OBL is not real (for all the conspiracy freaks out there) 2) OBL is real
If 1 -- You send people to find him and A) You find him or B) You don't
If B -- Shitstorm that tears this country apart...obviously...
In case of 2)OBL is real (note: I believe any idiot that takes Civilian life is an utter piece of shit that destroy all prospects for progress)
Again -- You send people to find him and A) You find him or B) You don't If A) You find him -- then either a. you kill him/imprison him or b.you leave him alone.
Why leave him alone? Tactical and Political. Unfortunately, people were unprepared to view it in these terms. The Tactical explanation is o.k.
Being a criminal and being alive is expedient (see the idea of containment). Because OBL and his camp are a target for surveillance. He is left alive so you can listen to his phone calls, learn their processes, watch for new contacts...etc...etc...The same goes for any criminal drug lord, rogue financier, etc..etc...
The Political justification should BUG THE FUCK OUT OF PEOPLE, but as we saw very clearly in the past two weeks the American General Population openly praises "the ability to play the game" over truth.
The Political explanation SHOULD BUG THE FUCK OUT OF YOU.
In case of political emergency pull cord 2)A)a.
