06 Oct 08 Dalton Fury Book : Kill Bin Laden : A Delta Force Commanders Account of the Hunt for the Worlds Most Wanted Man
Yesterday I wrote about Scott Pelley of CBS 60 Minutes doing a pretty fascinating interview with “Dalton Fury” a Delta Force commander who lead a team of 40-50 elite Delta Force commandos to attempt to kill Osama Bin Laden shortly after the September 11 attacks.
Of course, the interview was partially in support of the new book Kill Bin Laden : A Delta Force Commanders Account of the Hunt for the Worlds Most Wanted Man which was released today… it seems like it would be an interesting read.
All those sites also have the book in other formats (such as Audio CDs, etc.)

I was just watching a pretty fascinating story on 60 minutes with the commander of the Delta Force unit (about 50 top commandos) sent into the hills of Afghanistan via Tora Bora to hunt down and kill Osama Bin Laden.

Previous strategies to approach by surprise from the top side of the 14K mountains and another one to litter the path through the mountains with air-dropped landmines by unknown sources higher up, either in Central Command or even higher (i.e. POTUS)…
