Obama seems much more careful than Cheney/Bush with information to the public. He just seems more credible to me. If Bush could have, he would have been excited to tell the public that he finally got Bin Laden. But he did not.
When Obama was going to go public with some urgent information at 10PM, I figured it must be something more important than killing Gadhafi or killer tornadoes. If if were some sketchy info, he would have let Sec of State or Sec of Defense or some deputy of those departments tell the public. He put himself on the line in a time when he is campaigning for 2012. That's dangerous in this dramatic political climate. He does not need any more conspiracy theories running around regarding him.
There was a time when we heard that Bin Laden was on kidney dialysis. With his power and money, he could have easily gotten a really fresh kidney or 2 from any of the Islamic women or children, as they are second class citizens.
BTW, I learned by watching all royal wedding stuff, that "defence" is a British spelling. "Defense" is an American spelling.
