How, exactly, is this damaging our capabilities? Does it disarm a single soldier? Arm a single terrorist? Does it hurt the morale of the former to know that when he says he's fighting for justice, it's more than empty words?

This doesn't hurt us; we won't lose any intel because, let's face it, Mohammed hasn't just been sitting there twiddling his thumbs for six years: He's been interrogated. Thoroughly. Repeatedly.

This is the best thing to happen to us since Boeing came up with the Predator.
