... after receiving intelligence on individual al-Qaeda leaders, though not bin Laden. But most of the raids were canceled or failed to receive high-level approval because of doubts that they would work and concern over the fallout if U.S. commandos were killed or captured, the officials said. "There were some really heated debates between the CIA and Special Forces about who should have authority to do what, and under what circumstances," ...
