earlier I linked to a short vid of Christianne Amanpour in 2008 saying she knew Osama was comfortable in a "villa."

2 Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?

3 Abottabad is some 70 miles away.... In the cantonment of Costellobad.

4 O/T, but re that sidebar link.  Michael Yon's FB page is not at all what I expected.

I know this guy is French.  I know this guy is a "philosopher".  But Bernard Henri Levi's book about Daniel Pearl pretty much makes the Indian Intelligence case that Pakistan has always been the stick poking the Al Qaida hornets nest.

Al Qaida and the Taliban is literally THE only tool the ISI has.  They have nothing else.

6 And there was still the pesky issue of where wtihin this area he was, and oh yeah, whether the cowboy Bush would be loved for attacking a cantonment in the middle of friggin' Pakistan, when Pakistan at the time was supposedly hunting for him too. Except that they were trying to give him housewarming presents.

re: the photos

On the contrary, it is who we are, Obama.

Families of victims are invited to witness the execution of their loved-one's murderer.

8 Well, it's Bush so remember the standard. He was supposed to stop 9/11 because some intelligence tip mentioned AQ wanted to attack the US.

9 It's not all that helpful, as this quote from the story indicates: "“The urgency with which Zawahiri visited Islamabad or the area in its vicinity suggested that he was there for some purpose. We told them about Zawahiri visiting Islamabad and we also told them that we believed Osama may not be hiding in caves but in a highly urbanized area somewhere near Islamabad. Of course, nobody had spotted him and it was a conclusion we drew on the basis of the information we got,” said a top intelligence official involved in processing the information." There's lots and lots of people there, and lots of cantonments. So, nothing overly useful. (Quite apart from the fact that the Indians have a vested interest in discrediting the Pakis.)

10 On the contrary, it is who we are, Obama.

Families of victims are invited to witness the execution of their loved-one's murderer.

It's who Americans are. Liberals, not so much.

11 Re the pics at Reuters, Osama's home boys look quite peaceful counting their 72 virgins.  Bloody, but peaceful.

Nice work, Seals. 

12 The interesting thing this shows is that the Indians may have some high level spies in the Pockistan government/ISI. Maybe their spies heard enough to know enough that Bin Laden was being kept somewhere, but not the exact location.

13 "Other photos, taken hours later show the outside of the trash-strewn compound and the wreckage of the helicopter the United States abandoned.

The tail assembly is unusual, and could indicate some kind of previously unknown stealth capability."

14 I hope Indian intelligence is more competent than the Mumbai police department.

15
The vindaloo will hit the fan.

16 I dunno about this. It's easy to say, "Yeah, we're pretty sure he's in this vague area," but much harder to sweep/search/examine to make sure. OTOH, I want to believe that India is gonna be our bestest friend in the upcoming/ongoing war against ISI-Qaeda. What does India get out of saying this now, though? Don't they want us to help them against Pakistan?

I'm not knocking either administration for not finding the guy until recently. What we're hearing now is from the folks who told us kinda where they thought he was who were kinda right. But I'm pretty sure we got all kinds of tips from all kinds of people we're not hearing from that were way off base.

Do the Indians know where Whitey Bulger is, too?

40 I still can't get the photos to load!

AAAHHHH!

41 Like someone with money to donate to the cause, or a Pakistani official who could help out, or a gay brothel, etc., etc., etc. -- a thousand other likely possibilities spring to mind, none looking less plausible than India's conclusion.

So that's what Barky was doing in Pokeeston when he was a young lad.

42
the series was terrible and cheesy and I loved it

The movie was great for a kid.

43 What the hell is going on when Sen. Brown says the photo he "was shown" was not the real photo?  Did someone show him one of the fakes online?

The contrast between how great the military did with the raid and how incredibly poorly the aftermath has been handled is amazing.  They're begging for all sorts of wild rumors by changing the story constantly and NOT releasing a single official autopsy photo to put this story to rest.  This is embarrassing.

I'd disagree. If we knew that they haa serious grudge against us, then I'd suspect any sort of intell they chose to give us. Since they do have a good hate on for Pakistan, and since they knew we wanted Mr Chuckles, then I'd coclude that India was geting a twofer. They gave us a lead and get to eat Hindu popcorn and watch pakistan embarrassed.

46 It's not a black eye because obviously we already figured that one out on our own, and tried our best to spot him.

We also figured out a large variety of other possibilities, and tried to spot him there, too.

It was ten years of searching for him.  Of course someone guessed approximately correctly.  If they found him on a kayak in Hawaii, someone would note they had predicted he was there.  If they found him in NYC, hiding in the GZM, someone probably guessed that.

We were absolutely relentless in searching for him, but that was a very difficult task and we had other priorities, such as dismantling his operation.  He did promise more attacks against the USA up until 2004 when he went completely dark.  We had our priorities straight, and still got this lower priority while preventing another 9/11.

Well done, US Military.  Truly, they are the greatest force in human history.  There is no comparison.

51 One photo shows a computer cable and what looks like a child's plastic green and orange water pistol lying under the right shoulder of one of the dead men. A large pool of blood has formed under his head.



Cue liberal outrage....

52 Pretty much most real estate in those areas are surrounded by a wall = cantonment. It is the only way you can legally claim land is to fence it. Now an 18 ft high wall is generally unusal even there.

53 Bot that was a sharp focus by the Pakis. They were watching it for 2 years before it was even built.

54
They say that showing the photos might incite Muslims to violence. Or perhaps be used as incentive for recruitment in terror groups.

I say that showing the photos will serve as a recruitment incentive for the US Navy.

American, fuckyeah!

55 They did specify "in a cantonment area," which is what Osama's area was. But I don't know how much that helps, because I don't know 1, how many cantonment areas are in that area, or 2, what the hell a cantonment area even is.

Cantonment? Isn't that where the Pro Football Hall of Fame is located?

Location, location location. It had great views. No blackhawk helicopters. Until the neighborhood went downhill.

78 But Bernard Henri Levi's book about Daniel Pearl pretty much makes the Indian Intelligence case that Pakistan has always been the stick poking the Al Qaida hornets nest.

It's "Lévy" (in case any of you are Googlin' it). He kinda credits himself with getting the U.S. into Libya. Kinda plausible.

And he contends, basically, that America's siding with Pakistan materially, and against India ideologically (because, not being a dictatorship, it was "anarchic"), roundaboutly gave rise to the aspirant Caliphate as we know it, and that undoing that is the job the U.S. is stuck with now—and doing totally wrong.

Also plausible.

Tin foil hat time (warning, I'm trying to link stories that make no sense to me and this is my only conclusion):

There has been a ton of news stories about actual-known terrorists either being 'lost' in the US, plus we have given citizenship to at least 3 people that we tried for terrorist charges, plus the stories about Homeland Security not allowing ICE to arrest/detain any illegal crossing the border, etc.

Now, they won't release the pics.

Could it be that they think there might be an attack and they don't want it blames on their releasing the photos?

What reason could the Heather's Admin have for not clamping down on the border as soon as the OBL raid was a go?

The guy who is clearly bin laden's kid, he looks just like him, is bleeding from his ears, but doesn't appear to have any bullet wounds above the waist. You can see a blood splotch right near his hip, but would that result in him bleeding out of his ears?

Is it possible he was shot in the back of the head at such an angle that the bullet didn't come out the front of his head?

Yes and the urgency with which Sasquatch walked across a field in Northwest Washington state suggested he was there for some reason too!

Isn't it amazing how all these logical conclusions and associations are made after someone is found? Intelligence is an art. Part of that art is following logical, verifiable pieces of evidence and drawing conclusions. If purported sightings alone had value. then we would have found Sasquatch already. But combine that sighting with an unusual pile of dung, a strange prehistoric hovel and a pile of unread GQ's at the door then and maybe then you found him. Either that or Barney Frank';s vacation hideaway. But you get my point?

This is Indian Intelligence. If there ever was an oxymoron that is it. By the way, if they knew so much about Pakistan and AQ, why didn't they stop the attacks on their country?

Yeah, well, the pilot to The Lone Gunmen involved a plot to fly an airliner into the WTC.

In 2001.

Before 9/11.

Well OBVIOUSLY that idiot Bush should have been able to put that infor together and prevent 9/11!!!!1111!!

136 I don't want to see any photos of bin Laden, alive or dead, when I'm on the air. The telltale bulge in my trousers might give me away.

137 I don't understand why Osama had to be "buried" according to islamic tradition within 24 hrs so as to not offend anyone, but it's A-OK to leave his family members lying in a dump to be photographed by whoever for who knows how long.

I don't understand why photos of his sons can be viewed and the whole world won't blow up, but the man himself is off-limits.

Something stinks.

138 What can I say? Abu Ghraib had naked men on top of each other. I'll be in the bunk.

139 59 Ace adds: "I Should Have Read The Article."

fuck no!
Reading is for pussies.

Would have been funnier with an Andrew Breitbart sockpuppet.

140 Btw, I saw Shep. on earlier talking about this decision not to release the photos.  He commented that "we won't get to see the photos, and that's OK."  He also lectured against those that would want to see them.  What a prick.

Well, Shep might poop his little pink panties if he saw the pictures, so he's OK with not having to see them.

141 Here.  It is official.  I HAVE NO BOOOBS, yet, cannot leave premises without some whistle come-on or comment.   And, I am way, way over drinking age.  Do not do hair pieces nor "French Nails"  Especially on a key-board.  I want to kill when I listen to this clip, clip,clip of artificiality NOT TAKE IT.,  PET-PEEVE, THE PLASTIC ON THE KEYBOARD..  .  Hate shopping altogether, especially any color that is  in PINK, Pink is puke, and not only that, a very sorry excuse for any female to depend  upon as "female".

142 Something stinks.

The cynic in me thinks its us the admin is worried about, not the Islamic world. I think they fear that we'll go hog wild with the photos and put them on everything from coffee mugs, to bumper stickers to baby bibs.

143 127 I look at Reuters and all I see is a pic that says Warning, graphic images.  But no images.

The German link in post #71 works too.

144 They videotaped the actual hanging of Saddam Hussein. But we can't see a still picture of the dead body of the man we've been after for ten years??

Again with the stinking.

I know I would.  That's how I pay my mortgage.

I forgot to mention that in the show the deed was done by a rogue element of an intelligence agency.

That's right, The Lone Gunmen were truthers before being a truther was cool.

147 ISI pulled 911.

148

Should the GOP candidates be asked if they will or will not release the photos if they are elected President?

149 This would be a bit of a black eye for Bush's team, if true, because...

Bush already has a black eye for other reasons, like half-hearted prosecution of the Afghan and Iraq wars on his watch.

Terrorists/rebels hiding in a mosque? No problem, reduce it to rubble; no more hiding place. Al Sadr trying to be a "leader" of his own fundie terror group? No problem, kill the guy with a shot to the head. Iranian RG agents captured on Iraqi territory? No problem, interrogate them then send 'em back to Tehran in body bags. Iranian-made IEDs being used against our personnel? No problem, a fifteen-minute missile bombardment of the Revolutionary Guard headquarters in Tehran should send a clear message, with a warning that further interference would result in more devastation.

None of these things happened. As a result, each conflict dragged out longer and cost more American lives than they should have.

150 It is the only way you can legally claim land is to fence it.

Is that why they won't Get off my lawn?

151 And he contends, basically, that America's siding with Pakistan materially, and against India ideologically (because, not being a dictatorship, it was "anarchic")

BS, India spent a lot of time buying Soviet gear.  We worked with some ISI/Pak Army arming up the Muj to run the Soviets outta Afghanistan.

152

I spent some time in India, very many years ago.

"Cantonment" or "cantonment area", in that part of the world, effectvely means "neighborhood", sort of like "Brentwood", but possibly a generic,un-named private-ish neighborhood.

Without a name, the description is minimally helpful; it does eliminate, usually, the downtown areas, and the slums, and that is some help, but in a "metro area", there's still quite a lot of ground to cover.

Throw in active subversion, like the ISI, and the specific "cantonment area" could change on a daily basis, much like a password; determining the correct password, the minute AFTER it changes, is of small value.

I don't doubt the Indians had some information, good information, and they were pointed the correct way, but it looks like the ISI could have, and probably did, subvert any truly usefully specific information they had.

Obviously, the money we (the US/GWB/Congress) gave to Pakistan was wasted.

153 Okay, I haven't gotten to read all the comments yet, but... didn't Osama's compound get built in 2004?  How could the Pakis have been watching it since 2003? 

154 As for Pakistan: We Totally Had It Covered. - I posted yesterday what BBC reported - that Pakistan security forces raided the compound in 2003, and then "it fell off the map".

155 Hey, there's a high level Mexican drug lord somewhere in the LA Area...ok I'll be more specific. He's in an hispanic neighborhood. Isn't that enough to catch him?
