For a NYT reporter?
They shouldn't have bothered.
Rest in Peace to the translator and the soldier killed in the rescue operation.

This guy had gone to interview civilians who were relatives of those taking fuel from the stolen fuel tankers... so basically to do research on his anti-war crap.

agreed a waste of valuable resources rescuing a NYT reporter, should given the taliban about 10 of his colleagues. Now watch this clown will get a sweet book deal where he derides the snatch team that pulled out for getting his "aide" greased.
 
The aide should have known better. In a hostage rescue situation, where you are the hostage, you stay the F*CK down.
