“There was never any question of detaining or capturing him—it wasn’t a split-second decision. No one wanted detainees,” the special-operations officer told me.

Yeah, under this administration nobody wants detainees. But how can any reporter just write that sentence down and accept it as if it made sense? The SEALS could wounded bin Laden and taken him away, quite easily as it turned out. The man was a treasure trove of information. Why does nobody even ask why weren't ordered to try?
