'Can you imagine what's on bin Laden's hard drive?'
They didn't just kill Osama bin Laden: they
also recovered a wealth of digital information from his compound:
The assault force of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S. official called “the mother lode of intelligence.”
The special operations forces grabbed personal computers, thumb drives and electronic equipment during the lightning raid that killed bin Laden, officials told POLITICO.
“They cleaned it out,” one official said. “Can you imagine what’s on Osama bin Laden’s hard drive?”
This wasn't just about killing the guy who planned 9/11. This was about defeating the organization behind that attack. And this time, the mission is close being accomplished. For real. We are nearing the end of this nightmare.
