As there is no outcry from the UN I would venture the opinion that they already know everything they want to know and need to know about the operation. The same goes for the Government of Pakistan. Recent revelations indicate that the US will be sharing less and less information with the Pakistani miltary and Intelligence Services, while the traffic going the other way will have to increase dramatically if Pakistan still wants US aid.

Calls for anti-Taliban strikes against North Waziristan can now no longer be shuffled aside and ignored by the Pakistani Government, if they do not take any action then the US most certainly will.

"What you are saying then is that every one they killed was armed and the mission was to kill Bin laden."

Why must everything be reduced to idiotic over simplification?

I am saying that everyone they killed was armed? Where have I said that everyone they killed was armed? Please show me? Or are these words that you yourself are putting in my mouth? I have got no idea whether or not everyone they killed was armed, the point is irrelevant, if they were not openly surrendering, they remained as enemy combatants and could legitimately be shot.

As to the orders for the mission again I have not got a clue what they were exactly. However it would not surprise me at all if the mission was to kill bin Laden, or kill whoever was posing as bin Laden. Much tidier doing it the way it was done - No protracted proceedings during the course of which thousands could have been put at risk, hostages taken and executed. Far, far better, "Bang", "Splash", "Done", no shrines, no place of memorial, no point of focus.
