The Bin Laden Operation: Tapping Human Intelligence
Since May 2, when U.S. special operations forces crossed the Afghan-Pakistani border and killed Osama bin Laden, international media have covered the raid from virtually every angle. The United States and Pakistan have also squared off over the U.S. violation of Pakistan’s sovereign territory and Pakistan’s possible complicity in hiding the al Qaeda leader. All this surface-level discussion, however, largely ignores almost 10 years of intelligence development in the hunt for bin Laden.

The New York Tunnels and the 'Broken Windows' Approach
Reports emerged last week in New York City that the U.S. government had thwarted an apparent plot to bomb the Holland Tunnel and flood lower Manhattan. Though there was some question about some of the details of the plot -- as initially published by the New York Daily News -- the report prompted FBI and metropolitan law enforcement authorities, along with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to call a press conference and discuss the case publicly.
