Osama Bin Laden is Dead

Here's a pretty interesting in-depth article focusing on all the details that led up to the raid:

By mid-February, intelligence from multiple sources was clear enough that Obama wanted to "pursue an aggressive course of action," a senior administration official said. Over the next two and a half months, Obama led five meetings of the National Security Council focused solely on whether bin Laden was in that compound and, if so, how to get him, the official said.

Normally, the U.S. shares its counterterrorism intelligence widely with trusted allies in Britain, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. And the U.S. normally does not carry out ground operations inside Pakistan without collaboration with Pakistani intelligence. But this mission was too important and too secretive.

On April 29, Obama approved an operation to kill bin Laden. It was a mission that required surgical accuracy, even more precision than could be delivered by the government's sophisticated Predator drones. To execute it, Obama tapped a small contingent of the Navy's elite SEAL Team Six and put them under the command of CIA Director Leon Panetta, whose analysts monitored the compound from afar.Panetta was directly in charge of the team, a U.S. official said, and his conference room was transformed into a command center.
 
Are they integral to the plot? It doesn't really matter either way, really; I'm all for nudity.

Nudity is always integral to any plot when I write a script. :D

Is that why the studio rejected that Sesame Street movie I commissioned you to write the script for?

I had a very intelligent, very tasteful script revolving around Oscar the Grouch and his anarcho-fetishistic hangups he had with Mr. Hooper and his penchant for onanist objectophilia. They didn't like it because Elmo was being stimulated by the floor buffer.

So he wanted to make it more adult oriented. Big Bird really WAS big.

Yeah, they also had a problem with "Mr. Snuffleupyourass".
Prudes. :rolleyes:

You took the "Tickle Me Elmo" concept way too far with that scene. :klingon:

I made Elmo put his pants back on, what else am I gonna do? That's how you get butts on the sets and in the seats!
