If the Mormon Avenger hadn't decided to go out in a beer fart of glory it would have been perfectly executed. They played the media right, they played the public right, they let the occupiers make themselves look stupid, they let public opinion turn completely against the occupiers, they even ambushed them off site after lulling them into a false sense of security. Seriously, I am impressed.
I heard a story on the way home where they interviewed a cop with experience in SWAT stuff and he said what the Feds did is what the playbook is all about now. Siege style tactics have been moved away from and trying to catch the leaders away from the location is the preference. Seems it works out pretty well, but is hard when so many are calling for a more active approach.
