First of all, because the s.e.a.l.s still had to get out of pakistan and that was another hour or so. and we still needed to get osamas remains and all the intelligence we had collected out of pakistan. but i think there was just a quiet sense that those americans who had been killed on september 11 had been avenged. >> you seemed perturbed in the book that having had a pact between all of you in the room not to talk about any of this publicly, people immediately did within a few hours. >> well,...
