<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nMy inbox has been full of links to articles about Robert O’Neill, who everyone agrees was the fellow who shot bin Laden. Apparently, he was worried that someone was going to leak his name, so O’Neill beat them to the punch, well, along with folks like our friends at SOFREF<\/a>. According to the Washington Post<\/a>, he’s been a motivational speaker<\/a> for a while and he’s spoken publicly, so it really was just a matter of time, anyway;<\/p>\n O\u2019Neill, in two meetings with The Post, said he had anticipated the criticism. He said his decision to go public was confirmed after a private encounter over the summer with relatives of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on New York\u2019s World Trade Center.<\/p>\n O\u2019Neill, who works as a motivational speaker, had been invited to address a gathering of 9\/11 family members at the National September 11 Memorial Museum shortly before its official opening. During what he described as a highly emotional exchange, O\u2019Neill decided spontaneously to talk about how bin Laden died.<\/p>\n \u201cThe families told me it helped bring them some closure,\u201d O\u2019Neill said.<\/p>\n The meeting was facilitated by a member of the New York congressional delegation who asked O\u2019Neill if he would donate his uniform to the museum\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n \u201cHe insisted on doing this anonymously to honor his unit, however the incredible interest in this story made this difficult,\u201d said Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, if members of Congress knew his name, you know it couldn’t stay secret for very much longer.They always like to act like they’re the smartest person in the room.<\/p>\n But I guess he’s going to be interviewed on Fox News beginning on Veterans’ Day, if you’re interested.<\/p>\n
