I wonder if the USS Carl Vinson

would be the "target" since it was the ship used to help dispose of Osama's body. Hope not. Not suggesting anything but they shouldn't have released this detail.

1. How are they going to target

the Carl Vinson? I don't think much would get within 5 miles of it before being vaporized.

4. After the incident with the Cole, I doubt that any Al Qaeda thugs will be able to get close...

The Navy changed a lot of procedures after the Cole bombing - our warships are much more well-guarded today when they're in port.
