Spencer Ackerman at Wired.com wrote an interesting piece about Admiral William H. McRaven, noting that the high-ranking SEAL officer offered a plan like the one the Navy SEALs used to kill bin Laden in his book Spec Ops back in 1995.
Admiral McRaven (seen in the above U.S. Navy photo) is currently the commanding officer of the Joint Special Operations Command. His book Spec Ops also offers case studies of previous raids in military history.
