Out of curiosity for people who know more than me - how often does a seal team like this carry out operations and typically to what magnitude?

More often than the general public knows about. Only reason this was so publicized was obvious considering the characters.

Or give them more reason to launch another attack on the US. You want more US citizens dead?

Read up on the legend of Gen. Black Jack Pershing and his handling of the Muslims in the Philipines.

I'd release the photos.

But I wouldn't have given him a proper Muslum burial.

I would have painted his body in pigs blood and hung it up for all to see.

Ah, the nuanced approach. . .so your fight is with all Muslims everywhere? Me, I'd rather fight the ones that hate us.

Fracturing the group?

U.S. Forces Kill Osama Bin Laden | Danger Room | Wired.com

Al-Qaida has now sustained two massive blows to its relevance in the past few months. First, the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia refuted al-Qaida’s argument that only violent actions focused on the “far enemy” — the United States — could overthrow sclerotic dictatorships. Now bin Laden is dead, without a charismatic figure to take his place. For al-Qaida, it’s show-and-prove time.

U.S. counterterrorism officials expect attempted retaliatory attacks, though there’s no specific intel on them right now. Officials are cautioning U.S. nationals not to travel to Pakistan.

But the senior administration official calls it a “major, essential step in al-Qaida’s eventual disruption.” Intelligence from the raid indicates that bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, will become the new leader, but his authority isn’t “universally accepted,” and the Egyptian Zawahiri will have difficulty maintaining the loyalty of “al-Qaida’s Gulf Arab followers.”
