#1 'Secret attacks' is from the journo, not apparently Panetta.

These attacks are so secret we have to wait a whole 24 hours to read about them at the Burg.

Idiot journalists.

#3 While I agree the attacks are valuable, I would not say they have hobbled al Qaeda. And Obama does deserve credit for at least managing to do this right.

#4 Hobbling Al Qaeda is all very well, but until the various Taliban and other jihadi groups are hobbled also, the jihadi war against the West and against those they deem taqfirs -- not pius enough -- will continue unabated. Even the capture, trial and execution of Osama bin Laden himself would do nothing to end the war the jihadis continue to prosecute against all who do not believe exactly as they do.
