The Rescue of Jessica Buchanan by Seal Team 6.

[waynesan]

Last night on 60 Minutes they told the story of Jessica Buchanan. She was an aid worker who was working in Somalia with a charity group and was kidnapped by Somalian Bandits and held captive for ransom for 93 days in the desert. This is an incredible story and when she tells how the Seal Team finally came and rescued her it will blow you away. God bless our Special Forces who do so much and get so little recognition. Have a box of Kleenex handy. Best 15 minutes you will spend today.

The rescue was in January of 2012.  The timing is suspicious that this rescue is being made public NOW that Benghazi is getting some traction.

Agreed,the whole Benghazi massacre makes my blood boil........Williamson County will lock a guy up for a year for stealing a coke from a krogers store but ah dont get me going...........

Maybe. But who cares? This is one of the rarely publicized, incredible missions of one of our most highly trained Special Operations forces. Awesome story no matter the timing. 

 

Also remember that missions like this are highly classified. Everything the SEALs do is Top Secret and above. Declassification doesn't happen over night.

Unless they kill bin Laden, then it is declassified overnight....

Actually a few hours after it happened.. For every mission that gets exposed due to their feel good nature, there's many more that don't and that's how it should be.
