theatlantic: This is the Memo That Killed Osama Bin Laden If you can manage to decipher Leon Panetta’s chicken scratch, you too can read the final memo that launched the raid that killed America’s most hated enemy.  The memo is part of Peter Bergen’s Time cover story on Osama bin Laden’s last days and Obama’s call to go ahead, despite Joe Biden and Robert Gates’ disapproval, with the Navy SEAL raid on bin Laden’s Abottabad complex.  Here’s the transcription: Received phone call from Tom Donilon who stated that the President made a decision with regard to AC1 [Abbottabad Compound 1]. The decision is to proceed with the assault. The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven’s hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out. Those instructions were conveyed to Admiral McRaven at approximately 10:45 am. Read more at The Atlantic Wire.

unbelievable, yet believable at the same time  thedailywhat: (Not So) Shocking News of the Day: Paula Deen is getting ready to drop a bombshell on the butter-loving world: She has Type 2 diabetes. Sources who spoke with The Daily say Deen has had the disease for some time, despite continuing to push high-fat, high-calorie foods through her cooking programs and products. According to the insiders, Deen has negotiated a multimillion-dollar spokesperson deal with Novartis, the pharmaceutical company that manufactures her diabetes medication. “Paula Deen is going to have to reposition herself now that she has diabetes,” one source told Flash. “She’s going to have to start cooking healthier recipes. She can’t keep pushing mac and cheese and deep-fried Twinkies when she is hawking a diabetes drug.” [thedaily / image h/t: pdrt.]
