A fascinating point was made last night on BOR's show that no one has yet picked up on: Seeing as the ISI had to know Osama was there, was he there "on Ice", basically under house arrest.
I find it very believable that they had him, a captive in a gilded Gage, unable to do anything. The question is this: were they doing it for us?
Consider this: they had him, we had no desire to make him a martyr, so sit on him until such time as it was to our benefit to produce him.
Maybe this was just another betrayal by bamabi and company, (who lies and betrays on a daily basis) of the ISI, who we provide help and assistance to, to try and make bambi look "presidential"
This is pure speculation on my part, but after watching these folks for two years, looking at the characters involved, remembering the fiasco in Dallas, (that is fooling folks to this day) I don't find it so hard to believe....
Yeh, seems to me like a typical AKA Big Sh!tty Type Thing The regime would Do!(and also 0’pinhead would exploit!)
Under house arrest with a stockpile of AK-47s. Give me a break.
Yep, just another ordinary million+ dollar compound in Pakistan...

In August 2010, “we found their home in Abbottabad,” not in a cave, not right along the Afghanistan border, but in an affluent suburb less than 40 miles from the capital.
“When we saw the compound, we were shocked by what we saw: an extraordinarily unique compound.”
..The plot of land was roughly eight times larger than the other homes in the area. It was built in 2005 on the outskirts of town, but now some other homes are nearby.
“Physical security is extraordinary: 12 to 18 foot walls, walled areas, restricted access by two security gates.” The residents burn their trash, unlike their neighbors. There are no windows facing the road. One part of the compound has its own seven-foot privacy wall.
And unusual for a compound valued at more than $1 million: It had no telephone or Internet service.
This home, U.S. intelligence analysts concluded, was “custom built to hide someone of significance.”
What is not clear is whether Bin Laden needed constant medical care. If so, there may have been a quid pro quo with the ISI: We give you medical help and a compound to live in; you lay low and let Zawahiri handle the remnants of Al Qaeda. You re-emerge at the time and place of our choosing.
Pakistan is a terrorist state. Always has been, always will be. They were not putting him on ice for us.
Good point. If he were on “Ice”, why was there a treasure trove of intelligence on his computer?
the more I look at this is appears like a Jail break or a planned hit....
Update: I just heard that there is a possibility that Osama was shot by his own guards.....that would hold true to the scenario that he was indeed in “jail” and the ISI wanted to keep him from talking....
