Here is exactly what we are talking about.

"Iran said over the weekend that it had recovered the RQ-170, the same drone deployed over Osama bin Laden’s compound before he was killed in May. Senior intelligence officials were disturbed that the drone was publicly discussed in the coverage of the Bin Laden raid, in part because of the fear of exposing its use over Iran."


Better to say nothing.You never know how much a slip up over realsing info about it on the Bin Laden raid lead to Iran adding 2 and 2 together and deciding to do something about it - ie if it's there, can we bring it down.

Just my HO.

That whole Bin Laden's dead and this is how we did it crowing was a SF disaster.
