The problem with second-guessing special operations actions is that you don't actually find out what really happened until much later. But why should those involved tell the world about their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) when they might have to use them again in a similar scenario in the near future? With little information officially given to date about the L'.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group's (NSWDG) raid to 'get' Osama bin Laden, and given that some of the 'facts' about the attack have even changed over the short time since it was carried out (he was armed, then he wasn't/ there was a fire fight, there were few shots actually fired), a certain amount of what commentators think they knowmay be 'intelligence noise' to distract and cover up the true operational details (nothing wrong with this incidentally, as there are plenty more al-Qaeda operatives at large intent on continuing attacks). The most obvious talking point surrounding Operation Neptune's Spear was the use of stealth' UH-60 Black Hawks-aircraft that have seemingly not been seen before and have remained secret and unphotographed by the veracious media and 'spotter' communities who are usually so sharp and recording every new type of aircraft.
