(This sounded very excessive, until I realized that they were individually counting not just hard drives, but CDs and thumb drives. I probably have considerably more media in my apartment.)<\/li>\n    <li>How Osama and other operatives communicated. Did they use encryption? What sort? What type of computers did they use? What operating system? Were their computers infected with any sort of malware? Did they have the latest security patches applied? What non-terrorist-related things did they have installed? Games? Music?<\/li>\n    <li>Video from the raid. It sounds like many bits of video were recorded, though I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll never see the light of day. But it would be most interesting to watch, even if the more graphic parts were omitted.<\/li>\n    <li>More about the helicopter that was blown up after it crashed, and the reason it crashed.
