War Room Photos

The White House photo of Obama and his national security team following events in the Bin Laden operation

Very serious. Look at Mrs. Clinton.

Caption from the official photo by Pete Souza: "President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with members of the national security team, receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House, May 1, 2011. Please note: a classified document seen in this photograph has been obscured."

EDIT to point out interesting detail: the man sitting center-stage in this photo is Brigadier General Marshall B. "Brad" Webb

Now look a little closer, and you'll see a little image enhancement... you'll see a burn bag next to Mr. Obama, and Hillary's secret code word. And something else...

Good Shooting, Sir.

Here's a Link to the official White House flickr photostream with the original photo and others from that day.

And, gang, do you think we can all pitch in so that the White House Situation Room can look a little more like this:
