Heh - should have had better security

From Politico:
Osama bin Laden raid yields trove of computer data
The assault force of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S. official called “the mother lode of intelligence.”

The special operations forces grabbed personal computers, thumb drives and electronic equipment during the lightning raid that killed bin Laden, officials told POLITICO

“They cleaned it out,” one official said. “Can you imagine what’s on Osama bin Laden’s hard drive?”

U.S. officials are about to find out. The material is being examined at a secret location in Afghanistan.

“Hundreds of people are going through it now,” an official said, adding that intelligence operatives back in Washington are very excited to find out what they have.

“It’s going to be great even if only 10 percent of it is actionable,” the official said.
If I was in charge of security at the compound, each hard drive would have some xxxxx and an xxx xxx. Have a guard on duty 24/7 because you know they will be coming sometime. First sign of disturbance, hit the xxxxxxxxxxxx and bye-bye data. Just another sign that we are not dealing with intelligent people, just stupid ideologues who worship a barbaric 9th century prophet. UPDATE: Thanks to sharp-eyed reader Geran Imo, Microcephalic Mo was around in the seventh century, not the ninth as I had said. Posted by DaveH at May 2, 2011 5:51 PM

(You must get tired of winos correcting your typos!)

The "prophet" that started that started it was 7th century.
