Dude, you sound like one of those Rethugs. And it's funny that they were fine with no evidence of those so-called WMDs, but yet now they want all of the proof in the world about this job...right.
Some of these things are called "covert ops" for a reason. Let's be factual; there are some fucked up jobs that our soldiers are called upon to do. War is not pretty, nor is it as neat as we see in Chuck Norris or Audie Murphy films. But the fact is that it is not in the best interests of our government to release every single thing that we have done.
I have done shit for the government that I can't talk about to this day without risking jail time at the very least. Dolomite and LRR can back me up on that shit; they've seen it, or heard about it.
And as for your "evidence;" would you prefer that we brought Bin Laden's body back to the US and paraded it up and down Pennsylvania Avenue like "Weekend At Bernie's?"
For the record; while I appreciate the idea of reasonable doubt and not taking things from our government at face value (i.e.
Operation Paperclip) you need to understand that there is shit that goes on with our government that remains outside of the scope of public civilian knowledge.
Furthermore, what if you are right? I got some bad news for you, man. There is shit out there that our government is involved in that if you found out about it would literally kill you...or cause you to be killed; at that point there's no reasonable difference. To quote Jack Nicholson from "A Few Good Men;" "...You can't handle the truth!"
Here is your choice.
You can continue to harp about this issue, understanding that there will never be anything you can do about it (because you can't), or you can move on and try to change those things in the world that normal people can change and leave this alone.
If you're getting all this up in arms about Bin Laden's death, then go use that energy to help out the homeless or the poor...give Kara a call and help with her campaign against counter-abortion legislation.
And it's "Houdini" not "Whodini;" one is the stage name of the late Ehrich Weiss; the greatest stage magician in history who named himself after the French Illusionist, Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin and the other is a rap group from the 80's that featured a guy who wore hot pants on stage.
Just sayin'.
