class="dropcap">T</span>he now iconic image of President Obama and his
top team apparently watching the unfolding raid on Osama bin Laden's
compound live in the White House situation room on Sunday begs several
questions in the light of the news – courtesy of CIA director Leon
Panetta – that the live video feed from Abbottabad was cut when the US
Navy Seals entered the house in which they found and killed the
al-Qaeda leader.</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">What
were they watching if that was the case? And why did secretary of state <strong
style="font-weight: bold; color: black;">Hillary Clinton</strong> have
her hand over her mouth in what appeared to be horror?</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">We
now have an answer to the second question. Hillary Clinton was asked
that very thing at a press conference today in Rome. She called the
satellite feed from Abbottabad "the most intense 38 minutes ever". But
what prompted her to put her hand over her mouth?</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">"I
have no idea what any of us were looking at that particular millisecond
when the picture was taken," she said. "I am somewhat sheepishly
concerned that it was my preventing one of my early spring allergic
coughs."</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">"So
it may have no great meaning whatsoever," she added.</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">Clinton
addressed other issues during her press conference in Rome, but that
looks likely to remain the most memorable answer.</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">Was
the US considering a Pakistan-style blitz against Gaddafi in Tripoli,
one reporter asked. Clinton did not answer directly, but said the UN
Security Council resolution was being followed, and the Contact Group
on Libya meeting today in Rome was hammering out details of a
"financial mechanism" and non-lethal assistance to the rebel government
in Libya, currently mired in a standoff with Gaddafi's military.</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">On
the matter of Osama bin Laden's departure, Clinton warned that the
United States and its allies would continued to "crack down and where
necessary kill or capture" those directing actions against US and
allied troops.</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">"The
battle with al-Qaeda does not end with one death," Clinton said. "The
international criminals who indiscriminately murder innocent people
will be brought to justice."</p>
<p
style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 16px;">Asked
whether or not the US had <em>intended</em> to kill Bin Laden, Clinton
said he was "a sworn enemy of the US, a danger to all humanity and a
clear target for the US and its allies for the last 10 years. From
London to Madrid, Istanbul to Bali, he left thousands dead and maimed".
She noted that the majority of his victims were Muslims. <img
