Great job getting him.
They really should have released the pictures though. Osama's daughter will soon be interviewed and she will likely have a different account of the events. Releasing the photos and doing a detailed disclosure would be better for controlling the narrative.
Yeah, well she has had lots of time to be coached into how she remembers events as they went down.

Jeez according to Washington insider Dr. Steve Pieczenik, OBL died in 2001!!!111 Oh noes we killed a fake OBL!

1) the dog pusher her onto the seals to save himself..
2) she was actually greeting the Seals with open arms for being free , which was mistaken as an aggression ....
Ignore List, Ignore List...aww he got smoked.
Oh btw has anyone seen the Pakistain* Press conference telling the world stuff like the US violated the territorial sovereignty of Pakistan...no word on how Ben Laden was an illegal and had no nationality to begin with, therefore he was to be aprehended. Pakistan: World's Comedy Central...
*No typo.
Amnesty International: Questions around operation against Osama bin Laden
Wednesday 4 May 2011
Amnesty International asks the US and Pakistani authorities to clarify aspects of the operation in which Osama bin Laden was killed.Source: http://www.canadaviews.ca/2011/05/04...ama-bin-laden/The White House has said that Osama Bin Laden was unarmed but resisted capture. “Given that he was not armed, it is not clear how he resisted arrest and whether an attempt was made to capture him rather than kill him,” said Claudio Cordone.
“Amnesty International believes that US forces should have attempted to capture Osama bin Laden alive in order to bring him to trial if he was unarmed and posing no immediate threat.”
I'm so over AI. Everyone thinks that because they are a feel good NGO that they don't have an agenda. It's a biased as hell left wing organisation run by bleeding heart morons who outright lie when it suits them to push their agendas. F*ck em.

United States president Barack Obama has seen a huge bounce in his approval ratings amid widespread praise for the killing of the Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
Praise for the Obama administration has come from both sides of politics, with no denying it has delivered an important victory in the fight against terrorism.
The demise of bin Laden has revived debate about harsh interrogation techniques like waterboarding, with one detainee who was subjected to the treatment reportedly providing a crucial lead.
A new poll, commissioned by the New York Times and CBS News, shows support for Mr Obama has risen sharply, jumping 11 percentage points in one month.
Fifty-seven per cent of Americans now say they approve of the president's overall job performance and his handling of foreign policy.
It is a bigger popularity boost than the capture of Saddam Hussein gave to former US president George W Bush.

Ai slams China on a regular basis. It was founded by a left leaning MP but then it was completely overturned into a Pro-West propaganda machine. We used to have their loons hand us out letters for political detainees in former communist Albania. There's nothing lefty about AI. It's an over-zealous intepretation of political oppression.
Is what AI are saying really that 'wrong'?
“Amnesty International believes that US forces should have attempted to capture Osama bin Laden alive in order to bring him to trial if he was unarmed and posing no immediate threat.”
If he was unarmed and if he was posing no immediate threat, he should have been arrested.
Note the two big ifs though. We know he was unarmed (White house statement). If he did not appear to be pose an immediate threat, I am sure he'd be alive now.
Only the person that fired the shots can say if he appeared to pose an immediate threat, given the result I think it is safe to assume he did.
AI just need someone to say 'yes, he did'
