October Avoided

American Thinker Blog: Did Wikileaks force the attack on Osama 18 months before the election? (updated): "I confess to being such a cynic about Obama that when the death of Osama was announced Sunday night, the first question in my mind was, 'Why so long before the election?' This is exactly he sort of event (like the financial crisis of 2008) that can swing several percentage points of the vote with its halo effect.

A potential answer to my question comes from the UK Daily Mail. Neil Sears writes:

WikiLeaks may have triggered the killing of Osama Bin Laden, it was suggested last night.

For although the CIA has thought since September that he was in hiding in Abbottabad, special forces stormed his fortress only days after the website published new secret documents."
