Pretty disappointing. By running to the cameras before Bid Laden was cold, it pretty much made the intel gathered in his complex useless.
Again, it's not like the WH had much choice. News of the raid was all over Twitter. In this age of social media, there's just no way to keep something like this secret for very long.
As to the intel gathered, again I agree the WH should have kept some of the details quite alittle while longer, but I don't think releasing what they did know, i.e., that they had gathered flash drives, CDs, operations manuals, did too much damage. I mean, they were about to confirm that the America Terrorist was in Yemen based on the intel gathered from the raid and look at how well that turned out?
DING, DONG, The American Al Quaida terrorist recruiter is dead, too!
You can't be upset about how well that bombing raid went either.
