[lbo-talk] OBL observation

[martin schiller]

I was glad to hear the interview with a canadian reporter in Pakistan this morning on Democracy Now. His comment, that the compound in which OBL was executed appeared to him more like a detention facility than a residential dwelling, supported my own view. The exterior views certainly appeared more like a prison than a resort.

That, along with the assertion from the Pakistan authorities that their intelligence service had pointed out that location to US intelligence as long as a year ago, supports theories that the WH may have been holding the employment of this execution for an opportune time (electoral advancement).
