60 Minutes refused to, but then some local cable TV station in Colorado did.

Pretty reprehensible. His life is definitely in danger now in the event of a retaliatory attack

Well when you come out in public like that, would you not assume the danger that your name might get published? I'm sure he knew what he was getting himself into.

Pretty coincidental timing if you ask me...

Obama working his ass off to get higher in the polls and continuously reminding the public that HE was the president who had Osama killed.

The timing of this seems a little fishy.

in the interview he says that 9/11 was picked to try and avoid partisian politics

Very interesting detail as to how the raid went down.

I'm sure Osama and his kid both chaotically and violently sh*t their pants when they saw a fully-armed Navy SEAL team coming up the stairs. At least I hope they did.

I'm surprised there weren't more people in the compound protecting that scumbag. Not surprised either that he didn't put up a fight, even though he always had no problem telling others to do so.

Scumbag Osama is a scumbag. I hope his body is having tea with the ashshole of 3-ton whale right now.

The guy is just promoting a book he wrote that got released 6 days ago, nothing more.

Besides, not that all SEALs have the same political views, but I'd be shocked if most of those guys would want to pump up a Democrat's chances. In fact, IIRC he's somewhat critical of Obama in the book.

I dont think his life is in danger. Canada and America don't have any terrorists living within it's borders that would want to seek revenge.

Canada and America have great immigration policies.

Have you ever watched "Little Mosque on the Prairie"? That show proves my point.

It's the crooked scheming small town catholic priest that you need to watch out for.

i thought it was somewhat nteresting watching the show, i'd consider buying the book.

kind of had to laugh when the SEAL was describing how the point guy shot Bin LAden's son. Basically called out his name (Kalhid), and when the son took a look he was "engaged".

Too many people would draw too much attention, especially if they were armed guards.

They were trying to hide in plain sight and it worked for years.

That's cause they're all Amish. You wouldn't think so looking at them, but they are cool as cucumbers in the face of danger. They also produced sturdy wooden furniture.

Is this for real? Honest question.
