Senator Patrick ‘Leaky’ Leahy used evidence on the Senate floor that convinced OBL to go off the COM grid, moving to mules only.

I seem to remember reading about an incident that caused Binnie to quit using electronic communications

IIRC a Senator or Congressman revealed publicly that our intelligence people had discovered OBL's cell phone number.

” have to accept that the killing was done using information from Gitmo detainees that was not necessarily extracted in the most polite of ways. They also have to accept that it wasn’t “diplomacy” but the brave men of the U.S. Military who did Osama in. They will also have to accept that it was men, not women, on that SEAL team. “

Military theorists, and bleeding hearts, will have to accept, given the experience of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden, that the concept of ‘conducting a manhunt from 30,000 feet’ is conclusively debunked - and most assuredly is not a practical alternative to ‘boots on the ground’....

It does have the smell of a deal about it. I know we have given them plenty of military aid and just did a 2 billion dollar weapons deal with them. Definitely something to keep in the back of your mind as we go forward.

...No telephone and no internet service...So how is it that they have hard drives from the computers inside...

I know it's hard to imagine but it is entirely possible to have a computer that's not hooked up to the Internet.

The Question that will not be asked in any press conference:

"Mr. President, did it disturb your of conscience to know that the information as to the couriers, who led us to bin Laden, was extracted from detainees who may have been under interrogation conditions that you have called "torture?"

Thanks, don’t know how I could forget it was Leaky Leahy.

Also, they may have had wireless access through cooperating neighbors. I’d be willing to bet there was a house or two nearby that housed “outer security” for binny.

Most people in 3rd world countries use wireless because it’s more reliable than land line.

She might have been before she was raped and forced to be his wife.

I expect the fact that key intelligence was obtained at Gitmo to be swept under the rug by the Obama-loving media.

The exact location of that home should never have been released.

And the satellite dish?

With each passing hour the story gets more convoluted.

Now Obama wants a unity dinner at the white house tonight.

Unity like Hitlery carrying that newspaper that said BUSH KNEW.........right down there to the senate floor.

I hate them all, every last one of them. Unity my behind.

Don't tell me that the intelligence was obtained by interviewing detainees at Gitmo! They certainly weren't water-boarded, were they?

Can you imagine how much information we would have gotten if they were, as the Obamanites wanted, brought to trial in U.S. civil courts? We'd all be under Sharīʿah law by now!!!

If there were any REAL justice on this Earth, Leahy’s chum-lathered corpse would have splashed ten seconds behind OBL.

Our present state of national peril is nearly 100% owing to our gutlessness in regard to the proper disposition of threats to our national security; both foreign and domestic.

Until we regain the stomach necessary to do the ghastly but necessary things required to ensure domestic tranquility , we will remain a target, and a soft one, at that.

Has there been any reporting about the killed/wounded residents left behind? I did read that some people on the scene were arrested by Pakistan authorities but the source was sketchy,

Was Obama going to wait until just before the election, but then came Trump, BC, and the economy sinking into despair?

“the residents of the compound burn their trash, unlike their neighbors, who put the trash out for collection.”

They didn’t need the SEALS! They should have choppered in an EPA SWAT team!

We had high confidence that a high-value target was being harbored by the brothers on the compound, and we assessed that there was a strong probability that that person was Osama bin Laden.

So, with that high confidence we quickly proceded to dump the body that had a strong probability of the person known as Osama bin Laden into the sea in less than ten hours after the attack.
