(NEWSER) – New security precautions are being implemented as US Navy SEALs involved in Osama bin Laden's killing are expressing fears for their safety and the safety of their loved ones. The team communicated their worries to Defense Secretary Robert Gates at a meeting last week, he revealed. Al-Qaeda has vowed to avenge the death of their leader, and threats against US forces has increased, reports the BBC. "We are looking at what measures can be taken to pump up the security" for the team, Gates told Marines during an appearance at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
"There has been a consistent and effective effort to protect the identities of those who participated in the raid. I think that has to continue," he added. Security has also been beefed up to protect President Obama's grandmother in Africa, who has also been the target of threats

Not interested in the grandmother. That would be unmanly for them to go after her, and that alone might prevent that. As for Kenyan police protecting her... she would be better off giving up now and sparing the policemen their lives.
What is interesting, I think, is the comment section of the paper - nutters tend to read this as if the SEALS have a fear for their lives. Please. These men have no fear of anyone at anytime. The writing was done poorly and worse, the readers were less than able to make any large steps in reading a few paragraphs without falling asleep.
They are afraid for their families. Al Qaida will spend considerable time combing all research available to find out who is in the SEALS, they will locate their families, and will strike.
The media in this country are not jumping around - this is even worse than that foolish twit who worked at CIA. These assassins will slaughter the entire family, as many as they can find - all because one or two people at the White House or an idiot in Congress released the unit and name. Rather than simply saying - US Special Forces ... they were specific to a unit. Wrong and now it will impact every future action by this unit - the men will be thinking of their families when they need to be thinking about their job - all thanks to the idiot in the White House or Congress.
Talk about investigations - this one needs a thorough investigation to find the first two people who opened their mouths, and have them fired, whoever they might be.
If any family member is harmed it will be their personal responsibility.
