1. The Texas Rangers, and the Canadian Royal Mounties share the slogan, 'we always get our man.' Of course you know where this is going. The Navy Seals and their elite strike team known as the mythical 'Seal Team 6,' knowledge of this combat unit is usually disavowed, took out the most wanted man in the world with exact precision, aggression, and flawless mechanics. Make no mistake about this, this was a kill mission. Why incarcerate and drag the nation through an agonizing trial? Who wanted that senseless option? Eyes on the target, two bullets put an end to 9 years of late night jokes. Media reports confirmed the Seals executing intense assault maneuvers on a mock compound at the beginning of April. Green light on hold, the clock ticking past the royal's headlines, the President finally unleashed hell. Somewhere, in a land far far away, Jack Bauer is raising a glass, and smiling because he knew damn well those Navy Seals didn't need the promise of 72 virgins to get the job done.
2. Lara Logan. The CBS News' chief foreign correspondent embedded in Afghanistan, and Iraq with military units, sexually assaulted and savagely beaten by a mob in Tahrir Square the night Mubarak fled the capitol, will be interviewed on 60 Minutes this Sunday. Her story details the heroism of those who saved her and her crew, but more importantly the piece reflects a courageous woman who is stepping forward to speak publicly, letting other victims know that they do not have to endure the burden alone.
