What I found funny was when they got to the third floor, they basically didn't see anyone and then someone hiding whispers in the dark "Osama?"[/quote]

According to Mark Bissonnette, the author of "No Easy Day" and one of the three SEALs first on the top floor, they did call the names of people they suspected were there.  I don't remember if they called Bin Laden's name, but I do remember that he said the called Bin Laden's son's name. This was a tactic they learned from someone else (maybe the Israeli's? I'd have to check the book again) and found to be useful. In that type of situation, there is a lot of confusion. When someone hears his name, he might think for a second that friendlies are calling him because he wouldn't expect his enemies to know his name (true in Ahmad's case maybe, but obviously not Osama's).

I appreciate your explanation, but the reason I found it funny was that I thought one of the members of the household was whispering Osama's name, not one of the Seals.  It sounded like a pajama party.[/quote]
