You can believe other potential terrorists will have taken careful note of this operation. I still don't know if it's true the license # had to be leaked to the press. For any other reason that possibly preventing vigilante action, that concerns me, if true.
I agree, I heard it said once, that Moose was legally restrained from releasing that information and he (behind the scenes) said, ok leak it and I will be the bad guy and take the heat for not doing it. (It just doesn't fit)
