A movie Rico would pay to see

Tim Perone has an article in the New York Post about video from the raid on Osama bin Laden:
The raid that killed Osama bin Laden was recorded on the helmet cams of all the two dozen Navy SEALs that took part in the daring mission, it was reported. Officials are continuing to review the harrowing footage from the forty-minute mission and have released new details of the raid, CBS News said.
The commandos first spotted bin Laden wearing a white undershirt and tan robe when the terrorist stepped onto the third floor landing in the main house. They fired,but missed bin Laden, who then dashed into his bedroom. The first SEAL who followed him into the room gathered bin Laden's daughters and pulled them to safety, CBS said. The second SEAL in the room was met by bin Laden's wife, who either rushed the SEAL or was pushed toward him by her gutless husband. He pushed her aside and then shot bin Laden in the chest, CBS said. A third SEAL then shot bin Laden in the head.
Meanwhile, more information gleaned from the treasure trove of documents and computer drives that the SEALs stuffed in garbage bags was released yesterday.
In one of bin Laden's diaries, he wrote that his minions shouldn't bother to attack the vice president because he's "not important". The note instructed al-Qaeda operatives to consider the president the most important target, the website ProPublica said. But next in priority would be "military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the defense secretary," the site quoted a counterterrorism official as saying. The official then said the note described the vice president as "not [an] important target because that position has less weight."
It was also reported that bin Laden set up a time-consuming method to send emails to his followers. He'd type the message on a computer at his Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound, which didn't have any Internet or phone connection, and save the missive on a flash drive. He'd then turn the drive over to one of his couriers, who then sent it from a distant Internet cafe.
