Exactly. Anyone could’ve ratted out OBL including the Pakistani government who may have gotten tired of hiding him in the country.

It wasn't about going after Bin Laden. Tora Bora taught us that.

Bin Laden was living in the biggest damn compound in Abbottabad. Turns out that everyone in the area suspected that either Bin Laden or someone on his level was living there. Moreover, the Pakistani government SURELY knew he was there. The information on his whereabouts and the layout of the compound could’ve come from a hundred different sources

Get outta here. Lol




Take it up with the LA Times.

Using that standard for terrorism a lot of US generals are in big trouble.
