More good news...

Vast array of digital information recovered from bin Laden compound
by Jed Lewison

'Can you imagine what's on bin Laden's hard drive?'
They didn't just kill Osama bin Laden: they also recovered a wealth of digital information from his compound:

The assault force of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S. official called “the mother lode of intelligence.”

The special operations forces grabbed personal computers, thumb drives and electronic equipment during the lightning raid that killed bin Laden, officials told POLITICO.

“They cleaned it out,” one official said. “Can you imagine what’s on Osama bin Laden’s hard drive?”


This wasn't just about killing the guy who planned 9/11. This was about defeating the organization behind that attack. And this time, the mission is close being accomplished. For real. We are nearing the end of this nightmare.

Was Pakistan complicit in hiding Bin Laden?

Pakistani town shocked by bin Laden find
By Aisha Chowdhry, William M. Welch and Oren Dorell, USA TODAY

It casts doubt on the degree to which Pakistan was complicit in hiding and protecting bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda and mastermind of the terrorist attacks on the United States that killed thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001. Some experts say the find potentially shakes the future of U.S.-Pakistani relations by suggesting terrorists are operating more freely here than previously assumed. "The question of where Pakistan stands in this whole effort has come to the fore," said Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and former State Department official...

Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf, interviewed in Dubai by Bloomberg TV, insisted Pakistan had cooperated fully with the U.S. government and said that he had never known bin Laden's location. "No, never," Musharraf said. "That really surprises me." The implications for Pakistan were immediately clear to its own citizens. "What was he doing in Pakistan?" asked Umair Ejaz, a businessman in Lahore, which has been the scene of Islamist violence. He said his country's image has been damaged because it "implies Pakistan had given him free accommodation." "The blowback from this is going to be huge," Ejaz said...

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf they say those are 16m walls...i thought they talkin about the fence...fkn liars

[mouse]

Reminds me when my unit @ ft Bragg went after Pablo

[DJ Mbenga]

abc says somebody who saw the pic said its pretty brutal. gunshot wound above the eye with lots of blood and brains showing. i guess thats why they are debating showing it or not

[024]

they can just show the cleaned up version. they must have cleaned bin laden up before the funeral.

Self-pwned by my speed reading. But it does raise an interesting hypothetical. The interogators didn't know (hindsight's always 20-20) that their conventional interrogation techniques produced actionable intel. But, if you were 100% certain that waterboarding would lead you to OBL, would you support it.

I already know where WineyHole and Lngrrr stand.

Waterboarding didn't work.

Live with that, Darrin. Just live with it.

KSM had been waterboarded before giving this info. There's no telling one way or another if waterboarding was effective. None of us really knows what went on.

Obama just got re-elected.

Ease up off the accelerator boss. Lots of potential " happens" moments from now till then. People have a short memory. It's in bent upon his staff to spin this in the correct fashion. The story about him proposing the seal team out of the blue is a good start I'd say.

KSM didn't crack while being waterboarded 183 times...but EIT may have worked because KSM gave information during routine interrogation, months later.

Now you're just piling absurdities on top of careless misrepresentations.

peter king just told the same lie on fox.

darrin is smitten.

[Pistons < Spurs]

The senior us official also says the White House received 3 sets of photos yesterday. The photos included:

1. Photos of OBLs body at a hanger after he was brought back to Afghanistan. This is the most recognizable with a clear picture of his face. The picture is gruesome because he has a massive open head wound across both eyes. It’s very bloody and gory.

2. Photos from the burial at sea on the USS Carl Vinson. Photos of OBL before the shroud was put on and then wrapped in the shroud.

3. There are photos of the raid itself that include photos of the two dead brothers, one of OBLs dead son (adult adolescent, maybe approx 18 yrs old) and some of the inside scene of the compound.

The official says the challenge is that the picture that includes the most recognizable image of OBLs face – from the hangar in Afghanistan – is so gruesome and mangled its not appropriate for say the front page of the newspaper. On the other hand, this is the one that is most identifiable as him.

We'll never know.

Bill O'Reilly almost had an orgasm when Peter King mention water boarding last night.

[Cry Havoc]

We'll never know.

Yes, we know already. Waterboarding/extreme torture doesn't work.

[Winehole23]

We'll never know.

That the benefits are unverifiable, is a piss poor argument for.

[ChumpDumper]

KSM had been waterboarded before giving this info. There's no telling one way or another if waterboarding was effective. None of us really knows what went on.

The people who did it knew what went on. That's how they can say which technique got the information. You gave us an article that says so.

Why is it so important for you to cling to your lies and stupidly wrong assertions even after you destroy your own argument with something you thought was helping you?

You were wrong.

Waterboarding didn't get this information.

That's it.

Trying to deny that makes you as pathetic as any birther or truther.
