It makes me upset that they are releasing info. On the photo of his command center.. it looks like a monitor to his right and another to his left. The power strip on the floor has a few plugs in it. CNN mentioned something about the older calculator that used paper. I also saw a drawing of the compound that had at least 2 sat dishes. Just my observation here.

“A command center without phone lines or internet access. Hmmm”

I read here, a few days ago, that there was a buried fiber optics cable. Probably to a nearby house?

“A “command center” with no phone service, no internet, no TV?”

Thought I saw a dish on the roof, in pics posted here. Who the heck knows what to believe at this point?

I'm not sure how useful rabbits are... unless osama used rabbit ears for his TV.

It's time to call on Jimmah Carter. He's the world's greatest expert on terrorist rabbits.

Supposedly bin Laden was only 54 yrs old. Not that this would completely rule out dementia, Alzheimer’s, or being a feeble old man with a couple of bad kidneys.

“the largest trove of intelligence ever obtained from a single terrorism suspect”

Then WHY did Obama IMMEDIATELY announce the raid?

Even if Al Qaeda has infiltrated Pakistini ISI, it would have taken a while for the information to seep back to the other higher-ups in Al Qaeda. Why didn’t Obama keep his big yap SHUT for a few days?

Some news reports have referred to information on “safe houses” among the intel. That kind of intel needs to be used immediately, before it becomes widely known. Why did Obama announce it worldwide on TV within hours of the raid, destroying any intel that had a short shelf-life?

Why doesn’t anyone in the White House press corps ask the administration why they didn’t wait until after an attempt was made to use some of the most urgent intel before making an announcement?

Actually, Obama would have to believe every American was suffering from dementia to try and pass this off as a worldwide terrorist command center.

He did do something about it. He had him monitored so we could get info that would stop terrorists attacks and grab terrorist scumbags. There's an old saying, "Don't kill the goose that laid the golden eggs"

So all those times that Bush talked about wanting to bring Osama to justice, he was lying to all of us? Gotcha.

After what he’s been involved with I personally don’t care if the death photo shows him partially decapitated in a wheelchair.

I’m just saying, while we may not be voting for Obama no matter what, there’s a whole lot of folks out there that would be haunted by such an image come next election.

A demented, worthless old man under virtual house arrest living in squalor and hounded by three wives and 13 kids? I call that justice. A very sweet and poetic justice.

Perhaps you just answered your own question.

I have no source but believe I read it on Free Republic

I re read it to be sure

After writing the above, I searched on bing and this came up

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2714933/posts

“Materials found in bin Laden’s compound include hard drives, thumb drives and a dedicated fiber-optic cable used for point-to-point access to the Internet, according to two U.S. officials who read initial after-action reports on the raid.”

It says “dedicated”. I remembered “buried”

A dedicated fiber cable is a huge pipe.
