This official and others briefed reporters on further details on the assault on the compound, which they believe was built five years ago for the specific purpose of hiding bin Laden.
The compound is in Abbottabad, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. The city sits in a mountainous region of Pakistan and is not heavily populated. Many of the residents are army personnel.

Said President Obama, "After a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body."

Normally, the U.S. shares its counterterrorism intelligence widely with trusted allies in Britain, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. And the U.S. normally does not carry out ground operations inside Pakistan without collaboration with Pakistani intelligence. But this mission was too important and too secretive.
On April 29, Obama approved an operation to kill bin Laden.

The U.S. team was on the ground for only 40 minutes

Remarkably, Bin Laden was hiding almost under the nose of the Pakistani military, which has a major garrison in Abbottabad and the Pakistani version of West Point.

U.S. officials say Pakistan was not informed in advance of the military operation inside their borders.

President Obama gave the order for a small team of U.S. Navy SEALs in Afghanistan to go in Sunday night Pakistan time, even though bin Laden had never once actually been seen in the compound.

How much BS do I need to read? Quotes above straight from the headlines today.

First -- we illegally entered a foreign country with an assassination squad.
2nd -- I haven't found the exact feet again, but I read the house was less than 1000' from a major garrison in Abbottabad. The house was right outside a major military base.
3rd -- 4 helicopters went in. Only 3 came out, and one was blown up.
4th -- Firefight happened.
5th -- NO response from the military base in Pakistan ---- even though they (Pakistan) had never been notified.
6th -- Body has been verified by several means -- yet in less than a day they sent the body into the sea where no "outside" people could ever interdependently verify the DNA. Why at sea?
7th -- the tip about him being there was given in August of last year -- how many months and yet no one had ever seen him -- no one to verify by sight -- and we still sent 40 men in?????

I am happy if he is really dead. This absolutely stinks of not being the "whole" story, but of being some setup of some sort.

4 helicopters from another country come half way across your country and land very close to a major military base and no response from your military. WOW -- what does that say about the Pakistani military. Either they are just downright awful -- or there is more to this story that told them to stay out of it.

I thought sending assassination squads into foreign countries was illegal. Seems like it is only illegal when it fits our needs.
Funny thing is --- they killed him After the firefight -- not during the firefight.

Why was the body disposed of so quickly, and in such a manner that no future or independent people could do some checking?

Conspiracy theorists will have a Hay Day with this one. It is way to easy to poke holes in the stories that are coming out.

Question is "Do you trust your government to tell you the whole truth?"
Was that really him?
Was it some sort of setup that people were killed, and maybe even Osama's DNA was tested (maybe he gave them some DNA) and they killed a look alike.
How could you find out, if you can't go back to the body and check?

Too many questions IF you believe what you read in the papers.

Love the "feel good" of the stories, but experience tells me that there is more to this story.
