Instead of pointing fingers at a US Government conspiracy, doesn't it seem more obvious that the Pakistani government knew all along where Bin Laden was hiding and claimed ignorance of the knowledge? Here he was living in a secure house in a generally military neighborhood. Seems like something suspicious to me. |

I agree. If they didn't know then they are just incompetent. I think it's more likely they knew and didn't care, which is why the US didn't tell them what we were doing until after the fact so they wouldn't tip OBL off again. Seriously, I can someone live in a house that is bigger than most, more secure than most, with no telephone or internet etc, for 5 years and no one know about it...I don't believe that for a second. |

oh they knew, I've lived in Pakistan for a while, and you cant really go anywhere without an ID card, and you cant do much without an ID card, (although fake ones are easy to get), since he was living in such a high security location, I'm pretty sure they knew who he was and that he was there, maybe the local military and police knew, don't know haw far up the command the knowledge went though. from the video's released, it doesn't look like he was living like anyone with money, he looked like he was living the life of a poor person, poor TV and crappy bed (you can get some pretty nice things if you have the money) which makes me think of 2 things, one i wont mention because it will go into too much debating, but the other is that he was keeping himself low key, trying to stay off the radar, as it's required in Pakistan with most things to show your Pakistani Identity card when moving around or purchasing electronics and such. so my guess is he was probably known to be there locally and by the local police and military, but kept safe by those people. |
