I guess that's what you call real leadership.

I am not sure about the leadership issue, but it was a wise decision on Obama's part and probably based on the intelligence that the fewer that knew the better chances of accomplishing the mission. Someone is dirty in the Pakastani set up. Someone knew that OBL or someone who was hiding from someone lived there. That is the reason that we can't clean up the drug business in the U.S. Someone is on the take and someone is looking the other way.
It is something you learn in junior high, two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
