this is the elite of the elite when it comes to delta force and the seals. what are the characteristics that you are looking? >> we are looking for maturity and judgment and for people making the right decision under the toughest of circumstances and not necessarily the fattest on the dauly runs. they not only have to take ordersine to their own death, but be prepare to make decision when no order is forth coming because something unexpected helped happened. >> that is right. once they got on the ground, there was no one telling them what to do. that was up to the tome - team leaders to make rapid decisions particularly when things were unexpected. they trained for that . this is it a small unit leadership at his best. they are tough and mature and capable of making rapid decisions under pressure. >> do you agree with the decision to kill him as oppose to capture. >> this was a ridiculous argument. this was osama bin laden. for us proud americans to second guess the seals. any one in uniform that had seen osama bin laden would nolt have taken the risk that h

. >> reporter: they're one of the military's two most elite units along with the delta force. >> theyve to be stubborn. they have to be focused. they are not killers, but survivors. >> reporter: they built a mock compound and trained over and over. the seals carried it out with helmet cams. they carried away bin laden's body, al qaeda's mother lode. >>> the death of osama bin laden is forcing a new york man to change his license plate. >> i'll trade these in and make it got osama in appreciation of what our troops have done. >> this retired police officer fought with the department to get van nit plates that read "get osama." a judge granted his request. now that osama has been killed, he has updated the paint job to read "got osama." >>> as people learned about the death of osama bin laden, one store in kansas held a big sale to celebrate. >> what better day to celebrate than to give 15% off for today. he's been hiding for nine and a half years. we figured what better time to do it. >> the president is scheduled to visit new york city on thursday. he's going to visit ground zero and

this is the elite of the elite of the delta force and seals. what are the characteristics?r maturity, looking for judgment. looking for people that will make the right decisions under the toughest of circumstances, not necessarily just the strongest or the fastest on the daily runs. >> now, these are people who not only have to be able to take orders, even to their own death, but they also to be prepared to make decisions when no order is forth coming because something unexpected happened. would that be a fair assessment? >> that is absolutely right. governor, once they got on the ground. there was no one outside of the compound telling them what to do. that was up to the team leaders and individuals and noncommissioned officer leaders to make rapid decisions as particularly when things were unexpected. but they train for that. and this is a small unit leadership at its very best. these are tough guys, but they're also mature, and capable of making rapid decisions under pressure. >> mike: do you agree with the decision to kill him as oppose to capturing him? >> i think this

plan that we sent up to our headquarters, delta force wants to come in over the mountain with oxygenng from the pakistan side, over the mountains and come in and get a drop on bin laden from behind. >> why didn't you do that? >> disapproved at some level above us. whether that was central command all the way up to the president of the united states, i'm not sure. >> and sure enough, a 2009 senate investigation pinned the blame on top level bush officials. "the decision not to deploy american forces to go after bin laden or block his escape was made by secretary of defense donald rumsfeld and his top commander, general tommy franks." they literally refused to send in troops to get bin laden even when they knew he was cornered. and now they want the credit? are you kidding me? then in 2006, just in case anyone still thought bush cared about bin laden, be he took decisive action. bush allowed the cia to shutdown a unit that had been hunting bin laden for a decade. the reason, according to the "new york times," official also decided bin laden wasn't the threat he once was. so much for wa

it could have been the delta force. we don't know who did it. we know this. it was the u.s.ry, thank you. what you have done struggling for ten long years is incredible. thank you. the operation that resulted in the death of the word's number one -- world's number one most wanted man began in the clinton administration. during a chat with detainees no word where the detainees were held. guantanamo? perhaps. maybe somewhere more insidious, the kind of place you find in the rendition program that bill clinton started. you know, the ghost plane that picked people up. egypt? no, wait. i'll talk! that one. one of the people waterboarded provided a key detail. identity of a trusted bin laden courier as someone who was protecting and even living with him. in 2007, they confirmed the identity of the courier in 2009,, investigators pinpointed areas where the courier could be living in pakistan. then this summer in august of 2010, the exact residence of the courier was located. in february this year, president met with the u.s. officials and said there is enough intelligence to assume

jsoc, which manages delta force, which manages the army rangers, the navy shields, they would be in a position to have people on the ground to carry out a close assault. to carry out a kill operation and recover the body. watch and listen for the words jsoc in the next few days. i think people are going to start recognizing incredibly difficult work they've been doing for a long time, often unrecognized, very difficult work. >> and more about that later, richard engle talking about the joint special operations command likely responsible for this news. now again we are told that we are within a two-minute window until we hear an announcement from the president in the east room. there you see finally the picture of the podium, the long red carpet, the central transverse hallway that separates the state dining room at the far end of the white house from the east room where the camera is located. the president will likely emerge from one of the three rooms on the left hand side and will come out and address more than a national, but certainly a global television audience, as so many milli

commandos set up a perimeter, two teams of assault forces, delta force and navy s.e.a.l.s, stormed the compound. as one commando entered a third-floor bedroom, he came face to face with osama bin laden, who was unarmed. but bin laden's wife charged straight at the american, who shot her in the leg. he then fired two rounds at bin laden, one in the face, one in the chest, and the al qaeda leader fell dead. the white house today struggled to explain why bin laden was shot when he was unarmed. >> there were many other people who were armed in the region -- i mean in the compound. there was a firefight. >> reporter: 40 minutes after they landed u.s. forces took off with the body of bin laden, destroying the disabled helicopter on the way out. the commandos also gathered a potential mother lode of intelligence. five computers, ten hard drives, and more than 100 disks and thumb drives. a special cia task force has already started searching the material for al qaeda secrets bin laden may have left behind. and while the white house is still struggling over whether to release photos of a deceas

commandos set up a perimeter, two teams of assault forces, delta force and navy s.e.a.l.s, stormed the compound. >> osama bin laden had a code name geronimo. >> nbc news has learned exclusively the code words used during the operation, a u.s. official says bin laden was called jackpot. okay. and the term to indicate a successful kill or capture for bin laden was geronimo. >> we've i.d.'d geronimo. geronimo was the code name for the mission to get osama bin laden. >> this is a story with a moral so to speak. an object lesson. maybe is a better way to put it. that object lesson is this, the exact details of an evolving story are not the place to stake out your big sweeping ideological argument. there's nothing wrong with understood those facts dimply differently at different times. there's nothing wrong in that reporting. if you are thinking about trying to use one of the many emerging details fluid details from the osama bin laden story to advance whatever your particular prepackaged political point might be about torture or interrogation or intelligence gathering or the presidency of g

if you're talking to the special operations forces, the s.e.a.l.s, delta force rangers, they in fact would prefer none of the details be leaked about any of their operations, because they are very sensitive. and they could down the road threaten the lives of some operators if in fact the enemy forces are prepared for what has already been publicized. but there are -- and quite frankly, that's why they're called the silent professionals. at the same time, there are many not only within the administration, within the u.s. government but within the military itself that wants to get the word out about just how well this operation went down and i've already heard it referred to as probably the single most successful military operation since d-day. >> i have to tell you, we know when thing, it was gutsy. all right. jim miklaszewski, we'll be speaking with you next hour. thanks so much. >> you bet. >> new details are emerging in pakistan this morning on osama bin laden's years of hiding in plain sight. ann curry is in islamabad with more. >> reporter: multiple pakistani intelligence sources

they routinely fly the navy s.e.a.l.s and delta force operators on those sensitive missions. >>> and in another development, al qaeda did confirm today what the president has been saying since sunday. osama bin laden is dead. in a message posted on the internet, al qaeda confirmed the death of its founder and called on all muslims especially those in pakistan to seek revenge. >>> back close to home now, an 18-year-old driver is dead tonight after a car crash in month bombry county. it happened in germantown early this morning. police tell us the teenager was driving westbound on middlebrook road when his car collided with a dump truck traveling north germantown road. the team's two passengers were taken to a local hospital and are in stable condition this evening. the driver of the truck wasn't injured. the cause is still under investigation. >>> communities along the mississippi river from illinois to louisiana are facing the threat of severe flooding tonight. officials are urging some residents in memphis, tennessee to evacuate. nearly 1,000 homes are expected to be flooded as the

and, you know, that they -- interestingly, what one former delta force commander said to me is that they would not have pulled that trigger until they knew they could have proof because they knew how critical that would be in this particular situation and that gives you a sense of just how up close and personal this operation really became and in the end osama bin laden was looking his american killers and executioners if you like in the face. >> you mentioned proof. a lot of people would love to see a picture or video of this. any idea why it's taking so long for us to get ahold of that? >> reporter: what we understand and of course we don't have a way to verify this but the reports coming out from u.s. officials is that the photographic evidence is just too graphic. there are consequences to all of this and counter terrorism officials have told me that, you know, what they don't want is to inflame the situation. they are mindful of the fact that that could spark lone wolf attacks, you know, some individual who is out there who is impossible to track because they don't have a record and

but in addition they'll have the people who were from delta force from seal team six whatever, who re operating wit them on the ground. that's been going on in pistan for many years. there are people within the agency and certainly outside of it who worry that this paramilitary roll for the c.i.a. is taking over. that its roll role as intelligence agency, that is a collector and analyzer of information is taking a backseat to the c.i.a.'s detriment. about i think that's an issue that congressional overseers are going to have to really focus on when general petraeus goes over to c.i.a. i just would say one thing about bin laden's death means for al qaeda. steve coll is the expert. if i was struck last night when the news first broke that what the... hunting down and killing of bin laden shows is that he was wrong in one of his basic assumptions about the united states which was that if you hit america hard as the u.s. was hit in beirut in 1983, as it was hit in somalia in 1993 and '94, the u.s. will run away and that's not what happened here. we didn't run away. quite the opposite. we

along with comrades from other so-called special missions units-- like the army's delta force-- they work for the secretive joint special operations command or j-soc. j-soc was created after the disastrous 1980 attempt to free the hostages in iran. after that, a joint agency using the top special forces units of the army, navy and air force was formed. 30 years later, it is an essential component of american military power. >> this was not the first time or fifth or tenth or 20th time that j-soc has conducted secret ops in pakistan without the knowledge of pakistan's government. >> suarez: "national journal's" marc ambinder writes about intelligence and national security matters, and to the extent possible, j-soc. >> since 9/11, the units have turned into an army, a secret army within an army. they've incorporated intelligence elements, logistical, technological and development elements. and they really became the tip of the spear in the war against al qaeda and the taliban. >> suarez: since 9/11, j-soc has handled among the highest profile and sensitive operations. in 2003, j-soc op

it was delta force, not the seal teams. we were not thinking that the taliban will help us. we thought the northern alliance and the pakistanis would help us. with the pakistan would block the route into pakistan and the northern alliance would block the route into afghanistan and both of those proved to be false. host: the president said he did not want to spike the football. we also saw some other photographs by pakistani security officials of the other two people killed in that compound. is it likely or possible that some of these photographs will be released by a third source so the president can take the upper hand and those that say he is not dead will now have evidence? guest: the photos that were taken by the pakistanis, that some of them late in's body was never out of control of the u.s., they took his body and left, there is never an opportunity for someone like a pakistani soldier to take photos. these fellows do exist. they are within the cia and the pentagon and people on the hill may potentially see them. i would be stunned if we did not see these pictures at

though the general public knows about the special seals and their brothers in delta force, most missions never are leaked, they don't get much credit because it's not in the paper. we only hear about jsoc when something goes wrong. a british aide worker is excellently killed o when something really big happens -- -- killed, or when something really big happens. and even then the military remains sensitive about their existence. several dozen jsoc operatives have died in pakistan over the past several years. these are heroic people that go in and risk their lives on a daily basis on special operations to kill and destroy the enemy before they get to us. their names are released by the defense department in the usual manner, but with a cover story. generally they were killed in training accidents in eastern afghanistan. so they don't get the glory that is due them because they know that they've gone into a secret mission that cannot be exposed and they risk their lives defending this country and many of them will never be known. but they fought and died to save us all. that's the code. how
