It sure does pass the test you think he was under protective custody. Just like how Omar Saeed Sheikh (the fellow who killed Daniel Pearl) remains in jail.
“protective custody”
Interesting theory. If that is the case it would have to be with the blessing of the US. No way paki wants to risk so much aid/$. And that means it could be a huge double cross by the US to get OBL out of hiding.... I doubt our current leaders could pull that off.
More likely scenario. OBL has set up all kinds of ghosts, false leads and dead ends. He’s had 10 years to think about it. Money, motivated followers. Time. Think about it. I’m half expecting a new OBL video soon. Except I doubt that he looks like himself anymore. I sure wouldn’t.
One thing for sure though, the official story is just to stupid.
