Wow, does his list of crimes not end:
A couple of people said that some of the children who were playing locally would throw their football over [the wall] as children do and, usually, they just throw them back or they come out to hand it back or the kids run in to get them. But, here, what would happen is the balls would not be returned. Instead, someone would come out and give the kids some money instead of returning the ball.


Also from this story about the fake images, http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/0 ... index.html
"I have seen a great number of poorly Photoshopped images in my time as a photographer and I can tell by the pixels that it is a fake," said Kenna Lindsay, a New York-based photographer who works with composite images.

The 10 key myths about Osama bin Laden

1. Osama bin Laden was 'created' by the CIA.
He did not receive any direct funding or training from the US during the 1980s. Nor did his followers. The Afghan mujahideen, via Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency, received large amounts of both. Some bled to the Arabs fighting the Soviets but nothing significant.

2. He had a huge personal fortune.
Bin Laden was forced to leave any cash he had when he in effect fled Saudi Arabia in 1991 for Pakistan and then Sudan. His family cut him off. Nor would the inheritance from his hugely wealthy father have been divided into equal parts anyway. What Bin Laden did have was contacts, which allowed him to raise money with ease.

3. He was responsible for 1993 bombing of World Trade Centre.
Ramzi Yousef, who was the main perpetrator of the attack, was probably working for Khaled Sheikh Mohammed who was an independent operator at the time. Mohammed only started working with al-Qaida in 1996 and even then kept his distance from Bin Laden.

4. He got money from drug running.
No evidence for this whatsoever despite repeated claims – such as in the post 9/11 British government dossier on al-Qaida.

5. He never exposed himself to any danger.
He did not single-handedly seize a short-barrelled AK-47 from a dying Soviet general as he sometimes claimed but numerous witnesses report that he was in the thick of fighting in Jaji in 1987 and again at the battle of Jalalabad in 1989.

6. He spent a lot of time in caves.
In the late 1990s, for propaganda purposes, Bin Laden invited select journalists to meet him in caves near Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan. However he lived in a much more comfortable compound a short drive away, near the former Soviet collective farm of Hadda owned by a local warlord. By 1999 he had moved to a complex of houses near Kandahar. When he was killed, he was living in a relatively comfortable detached house in Abbottabad, Pakistan. In between, there is no evidence that he spent any time living in caves. The rest of al-Qaida's senior militants appear to have lived in the semi-fortified houses that are common in the tribal zones.

7. He was a tearaway teenager who partied in Beirut before becoming religious.
There is no evidence for this either. Bin Laden appears to have been an intense, shy and pious youth who married young and spent an inordinate amount of time studying scripture.

8. He was near to dying of a kidney disease.
There are some reports – not least in the Guantánamo files – of renal problems but certainly not serious enough to kill him. It is more likely he had back problems caused by his height (around 6ft 5in) and relatively sedentary lifestyle.

9. He hid in Kashmir, was the leader of Chechen groups, was responsible for violence in the Philippines and in Indonesia, organised the Madrid 2004 attack and had an extensive network in Paraguay, sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa.
All these claims, made by various governments or intelligence services over the last decade have proved totally without foundation.

10. Bin Laden was an Arsenal fan.
Despite fans reportedly chanting "Osama, woah-woah, Osama, woah-waoh, he's hiding in Kabul, he loves the Arsenal", Bin Laden was not a faithful of the north London club.

Nobody's calling the shots in that picture, they're watching a live feed of the operation and the JCoS is updating his LiveJournal mood.

Obama had given the order days earlier.

No, I don't. It's like treating Bleacher Report as a legitimate source for anything.

uh, no.

Even the media reported that Obama was told while on the golf course that he needed to be at the white house because they got osama. Do you honestly think the POTUS, who by definition is the military leader, would be on the golf course after telling his guys to get obl? Oh wait, with bho that would be plausible. After all he has played more rounds of golf than GW2 did in both terms combined. And we all know how much the media loved how much golf GW2 played. oh wait.... oops, they hated GW2 for the amount of golf he played.
btw these guys that got obl were part of the very type of group that bho said he was going to disband. They are the very guys that certain left wing media personalities called "Cheney's thugs!"

Uh, yes. It's a website where anyone can post anything they want, do you believe anyone who says they have "inside sources" no matter what? This ain't Ric Bucher here, just some guy posting his Valerie Jarrett/heroic military coup fantasies.

You should start blogging on Socyberty. You have a knack for irrelevant ramblings and tangents.

What was Obama supposed to do? There's literally nothing for him to do but watch after he's given the order (THE FRIDAY BEFORE) unless something goes wrong. So he went out to shoot nine holes, they told him the operation was starting so he came back to watch.

Do you understand how the chain of command works?

Al-Qaida confirms death of Osama bin Laden

Al-Qaida has issued its first confirmation of Osama bin Laden’s death in an Internet statement posted on militant websites.

Friday’s statement by the terror network says bin Laden’s blood “will not be wasted” and it will continue attacking Americans and their allies.

I feel stupid.

I bought the white house's line that certain videos were of OBL watching TV at home before I did any research.

Did anyone else see the cell phone on the floor in front of OBL?

Why is that big? the US government has said that OBL had banned cell phones from the compound.
