Release Of The Bin Laden Raid Documents - The Right Move Or Stupid Move?....

I'm thinking that these documents were released because of Hersh and to kind of discredit him.

One of the documents, written by Bin Laden himself, calls for the continued killing of Americans. Isn't it kind of stupid to release this - as the Bin Laden followers who continue to idolize him and think of him as a martyr for the cause - might take up his mission now with more passion?

I really think a knee-jerk reaction to Hersh like this could endanger Americans all around the globe. I don't really agree with the release of these documents - at least not the one where he targets Americans.

If Americans get harmed because of this - I really don't know whom to blame? Hersh for his putting out the story on the Bin Laden raid or the Administration for falling for his crap and trying to discredit him.
