Bin Laden: Shoot to kill...

Very interesting documentary on More4 last night. About how American special forces entered the compound and killed the world's most wanted man.
The most interesting bit was about the planning for the op in Washington. The thing was so secret that when the senior staff in the White House ordered some take-away pizza's for the planning meeting (I was surprised they call out for pizza at the White House, but they do) they ordered them from several differnt pizza places at once so no one would catch on that a large meeting was happening. They were even afraid to let a pizza parlour in downtown Washington know that a large group of senior Government staff would be having a meeting in the White House.
The mission went off sucessfully as we know, and Bin Lden was killed. Good riddance. Did anyone else watch this programme? I found it very interesting.
