I don't know much about what is fact or fiction here, but let's think this through logically. I doubt very much that if this story is true that something already has not been done.
I mean my thinking is, if this is old news, which it appears to be, then I CAN GUARANTEE YOU OUR SPECIAL FORCES ARE ON THE WAY OR THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN THERE. WE COULD RECONNOITER SPECIAL FORCES WITHIN HOURS IF THERE IS A RELIABLE BIN LADEN SIGHTING. THIS GUY LOFTUS MAYBE HAS BEEN TIPPED OFF.
At least let's hope that this is what's going on.
I'm betting that they have the guy cornered now, and it's a matter of time... like hours.

"I doubt very much that if this story is true that something already has not been done."
consider also that we may pefer to risk a capture before sending in the A-10's
1) We need to "debrief" OBL for intelligence data
2) We need to give him a hygene inspection (per Saddam's) so that he is revealed as a coward instead of a martyr.
