Milkman delivers Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:29 AM) It is laughable to think that Bin Laden was there for years, right under the noses of the Pak military and they did not know it. Think about it in this sense. Say one or two high ranking officials, a couple of generals, were well aware of it. In any military (correct me if I'm wrong, lostfan or any of the other veterans), aren't any subordinates going to just follow the order to ignore that location? I'm sure there would be plenty of people who had their doubts and reservations, but isn't it also highly frowned upon to go over someone's head in the military?

Yeah, they do have some good pieces, but I feel overall their top stories and front pages tend to get very tabloid-ish, or at least more so than the Tribune.

I want to see this photo, the video of his "burial" and the video of the fight, if that ever gets released. Perhaps a bit morbid, but this guy has basically become a fictional character the last decade so any real photo or video would be pretty crazy to see.

Texsox Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I may have missed it, but is the assumption he's been there since 2005? I'm not surprised he was living in a mansion, with his money I assumed he was in some remote villa with access to multiple escape points. My second assumption was he had multiple safe houses to move to, never staying more than a week or two at any one place. Perhaps he grew tired of running. If he had been there since 2005 there is a bit of satisfaction knowing he was a prisoner, even if he was a prisoner in a prison he built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a bit morbid, but this guy has basically become a fictional character the last decade so any real photo or video would be pretty crazy to see. I think a photo would definitely be good. The burial is not something I'd like to see and they may not have even taped that. I feel like airing the video of that would definitely piss people off unnecessarily. A video or reenactment of the actual fight is only a dream, but that would be the coolest of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to assume he's been in this compound, maybe with the occasional trip out, since 2005. If nothing else, the U.S. has supposedly been watching this facility quite intently for the last year and there's no reports that we saw him coming or going.
