Following the military raid on the Bin Laden compound in 2011, the Pakistani government set up a commission of inquiry to find out exactly what happened, if there were any lapses in leadership, and what follow-on actions should be taken.

Inside their report were many interesting details, but we've managed to get it down to just five.
Bin Laden was once stopped by a cop for speeding in 2002, but nothing happened.

How many of us really believe that the Pakistani government did not know his whereabouts?
Pakistani ISI was probably all over that cop like the FBI would when a mobster in witness protection gets caught by a local police department for a petty crime.
Osama bin Laden is/was the most successful patsy for Empire building in the grand and glorious history of patsy’s and Empires. The FBI will have to work extra long hours to develop any patsy as useful as the CIA’s OBL or the KGB’s BHO. I wonder whose patsy was GWB?
Within days of 9-11 I had Indian business contacts telling me the Pakis were going to do exactly that.
