Are We Bragging, Stupid, Lying, Or All Of The Above ?

The capture of Osama Bin Laden will probably dominate the news cycle until something else comes along--at least two or three days.  Americans have short attention spans--politicians count on that.  Anyway, here is something I hadn't thought about.

A website called Barnhardt.biz posted a very interesting observation yesterday.  I quote:

"Finally, I see a headline on Drudge tonight with a story indicating that a tremendous haul of intelligence was harvested from the compound Bin Laden was allegedly inside and that the location of Al-Zawahiri was contained in that data, with an intel officer quoted as saying, "That's where we are headed next."

"Okay. If you can't see that that report is COMPLETE B.S., then I don't know what to say. Do you HONESTLY believe that if intel like that was actually acquired that it would be announced to the media AND the announcement would be made to Al-Zawahiri himself that we know where he is and we are coming to get him? REALLY? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?

"Here is what WOULD HAVE BEEN SAID if a huge intel stash was recovered:

""There were several computers, hard drives and thumb drives retrieved in the compound, but they were kept "clean" and contained nothing more than a few standard topographical maps and other mundane files. Further analysis will be done, but no significant intelligence yields are expected."

"THAT is what would have been said, NOT, "Hey Al-Zawahiri! We know exactly where you are and we are coming to get you right now. We'll be there in the next 24-48 hours, so please make certain that there is someone at home to answer the door.""

What in the world is going on here?  Do we think Al Qaeda is dumb?  Is the President so desperate for approval numbers that he is making it up?  Do we think this will scare Al Qaeda into doing something stupid?  Did we do something stupid?  If the intelligence community has any intelligence, they will keep quiet about what they found.  My real question is, "Is Obama running the public relations for the intelligence community?"  If he is, we are all in trouble.
