Confessions of terror, fears of internal operations and even a possible name change were just some of the new details from the trove of documents Virginia Beach Navy SEALs got during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Bin Laden did not have a clue the SEALs were coming.
But according to documents, he seems to have clearly understood his organization was on the brink of defeat.
After the Navy SEALs took out Osama bin Laden, they only had 20 minutes to collect vital intelligence on al Qaeda.
Virginia Beach-based SEAL Team 6 ran from room to room scooping documents, computer drives and videos into plastic garbage bags.
With the bags tied to their waists to leave their hands free, they dashed for the helicopters, lugging five computers, a dozen hard drives and 100 storage devices—everything from flash drives to DVDs.
A task force of intelligence analysts has gone through the material and today the president's top counterterrorism advisor outlined some of what they found about bin Laden’s increasingly desperate state of mind.
