White House publishes Photos on Fickr taken during Osama Bin Laden Mission

The White House has published several photos on Flickr taken on May 1st in the White House. The photos show President Obama, Vice President Biden and others getting updates on the mission against Osama Bin Laden in the White House Situation Room. This room is apparently rather small as lots of people have to stand. I assume they have a little projector on the table with live video feed from a helmet camera of one of the operatives. These photos are possibly of historic value and they make Obama look pretty good. This is a big win for him.

You can view the photos on Flickr here.

As you have read in many reports the President was basically live at the scene via a video feed during the mission. Another man that was close to the scene unknowingly was Sohaib Athar. He tweeted updates during the attack, making him a Twitter celeb. He now has close to 90,000 followers.
