Why Would We Reveal This Information Unless We Did Not Want To Actually Make Use Of Even A Bit Of It?

Osama Bin Laden Raid: Al Qaeda 'Playbook' Revealed




U.S. intelligence is now in possession of a veritable "playbook" of al Qaeda operations -- from potential terror attack targets to information on international safe houses and top commanders -- thanks to the Navy SEAL raid that took down Osama bin Laden Sunday, officials told ABC News today.
 
The cache of electronic and handwritten materials obtained by the SEALs includes numerous hallmark al Qaeda plots including attacks on infrastructure targets such as water supply and transportation including rail and air, in what one official described as a "strategic guide for how to attack the U.S." In the past, al Qaeda planned for attacks on water supplies have included an interest in mining dams and in poisoning water supply. Intelligence experts have also have found what appears to be information about safe houses around the world and about al Qaeda leadership.

In telling the world about the capturing of this "Playbook" have we not just alerted every single last Jihadi to leave their safe houses immediately and get to work establishing new ones?

Does the Obama Administration do this kind of stupid shit because they are incompetent, or do they do it because they do not want us to succeed?

Good question.

I do think that a lot of what we call stupid is calculated and being used as a sly means to an end.

A cynical person could say Odama's making sure his friends are alerted.
But that would be silly.
