CBS News confirms Pakistan has informed the United States that the ISI will allow access to Osama bin Laden's three widows who were left behind in the raid that killed the terrorist near Islamabad. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports it will be "direct access," meaning U.S. agents will be able to interview them, and not just submit questions.
The relationship between Pakistan and the U.S. has seen ups and downs since the CIA-coordinated raid that killed bin Laden near Islamabad.
Despite the back-and-forth relationship in the wake of the bin Laden raid, in his interview with "60 Minutes", President Barack Obama said: "We've been able to kill more terrorists on Pakistani soil than just about any place else. We could not have done that without Pakistani cooperation."
CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports that Pakistan's prime minister said recently that, in the future, any unauthorized raids within Pakistan will be met with "full force." He, of course, didn't find out about the raid that killed bin Laden until it was over, and the American commandos were safely out of the country.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Gilani faced parliament to explain how Pakistan could have missed both bin Laden and the U.S. raid that killed him. Gilani said his government was proud of the armed forces, and that there was an intelligence failure, but no collusion with al Qaeda. He called allegations of complicity or incompetence "absurd. "
Simple denial isn't enough though. Pakistan's political opposition wants to see a thorough investigation of the whole fiasco.
"The most serious fallout, apart from feeling the worst humiliation ever, is of credibility. No one will trust what Pakistan says anymore," said Imran Khan, a Pakistani opposition politician.

Wife No. 2 - No, he liked mine best. Yours made his stomach hurt.
Wife No. 3 - What is cooking??
I thought the Seals took a bunch of people in the helicopters? No?
Maybe she will be one of his tortures, when her contract is up.
LLS
Not the wives, apparently.
You can imagine the Islamofascist "outrage" if the wives had been taken. These cave-dwelling morons would've accused the SEALs of taking their chattel slaves women away to be raped and murdered (psychological projection, of course, since that is exactly what THEY do to Western women).
There were early reports that at least one male had been handcuffed and taken away by helicopter. If true, that may be the only bit of intelligence that hasn't been blown by the blabbing Obama-ites.
How much is this costing us?
They must have heard all of the talk about the billions of dollars drying up if they didn’t get with the program.
He wore the first wife out with 11 kids.......
US grants Pakistan access to CHASE MANHATTAN.......
Bad news! Turns out, we don't have any interpreters that speak goat.
Nothing.
It doesn’t cost, it pays.
keep them away from Bill
Not to worry, no one believes Obama either.
They left with one fewer helicopters than they had when they arrived. The math says, no they did not take others away with them when they left...

They can replace that and more from China in a blink of an eye! Luckily some among them may not want to cut off from the West and join the ranks of Chinese dominated nations.
RE: Not to worry, no one believes Obama either.
I notice lot’s of people I know keep saying ‘Osama’ when they really meant ‘Obama’.
Even the medis mistakes osama and obama. I channel switch and radio surf too. they’re all doing it
