Hoping Long Colt will see this; he’s got knowledge and experience and I don’t. All I have are a couple of wits I try to scratch together. My wits tell me that with a gigantic complex cast-of-thousands criminal enterprise such as this, the Pakistanis are actually not the worst ones, the worst ones are the Americans who aided, abetted and no doubt profited from this and committed treason among other felonies.
So....my wits tell me that if the American criminals did not know that the DOJ was seriously investigating this whole shebang, that would be best, so they would not hide/destroy evidence, and so on. If the Pakis were brought back and imprisoned without bail (which would be the best thing in a way), then the American criminals would realize that they are toast too, and would be fleeing, destroying trails, etc.
Anyway, that would be my take on it.
Im not going to disagree with what you wrote because it is plausible, but wouldnt that argument be sort of like saying, back in the 2000’s we should have given terrorist matermind KSM bond and an ankle monitor so we dont scare Al Qaeda into destroying evidence and going into hiding?
I simply and respectfully disagree. There is no deeper investigation (at this time).
