The courier made a cell call and they found him.

They knew his name because a certain Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told us.

Which means, dare I say it, Gitmo produced results.

Articles I've read say that the Navy Seals raided Bin Laden's lair with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds specifically trained to located and "detain" combatants. The dogs were strapped to the sides of the Navy Seals as they were lowered from the helicopters to the ground.

Of note, the dogs HAVE CUSTOM FITTED TITANIUM INCISORS at $2,000.00 for each canine tooth, razor-sharpened to go through the toughest material...

Maybe the best man for the job was a dog....

One, they should have had the dogs rip bin laden apart. That would be awesome on so many levels.

Two, the bottom line is that the burden of proof is on the administration as to why they must withhold information that should be available under the FOIA.

The freedom of the information is at the governments discretion. Like everything else!

It's not, hence the government saying they want to hold info, then suits are brought and they are forced to release. Happens all the time.

In something that concerns national security? The FOIA is not as free as some like to think.

Well that's one less christmas card I'll be sending this year

BTW, I killed Colonel Gaddafi the other night. I didn't take any pictures and threw his body into the sea. Just take my word for it; he's definitely dead.
