A new picture emerged Thursday of what really happened the night the Navy SEALs swooped in on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the 40 minutes it took to kill bin Laden and scoop his archives into garbage bags were all recorded by tiny helmet cameras worn by each of the 25 SEALs.

Interesting news. We may still get to see what happened in that house.

Doubt it will be any time soon that those helmet cams will be released to public record.

There are several helmet cam videos from Iraq and Afghanistan on the intertubes.
Say what you want, but they could put the Osama raid helmet cam footage on pay-per-view for $5 and pay off the national debt with the proceeds.

That was fascinating.
Yes, I think you’re correct about pay-per-view if they put up the OBL footage!

I smell a pay-per-view opportunity for the US government. It may sound tacky, but 50 million people paying 50 bucks each to watch the helmet cams would reduce the deficit by $2.5 billion.

No, dude, that math doesn’t work. You have to charge more than $5. With our debt at about $14 Trillion now, we’d have to sell to about 3 Trillion PPV users. That’s like ten times as many people that live in the United States. Even assuming you double your sales overseas, it just won’t work.
