Report: CIA Monitored Bin Laden for Months Using Safe House in Abbottabad…
Nice to see the CIA getting some praise and credit instead of the normal drubbing they take (looking at you Nancy Pelosi).
WASHINGTON — After reviewing computer files and documents seized at the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed, American intelligence analysts have concluded that the chief of Al Qaeda played a direct role for years in plotting terror attacks from his hide-out in Abbottabad, Pakistan, United States officials said Thursday. . . .
The C.I.A. surveillance team in the rented house near Bin Laden’s hide-out took pains to avoid detection not only by the suspected Qaeda operatives they were watching but by Pakistani intelligence and the local police.
Observing from behind mirrored glass, C.I.A. officers used cameras with telephoto lenses and infrared imaging equipment to study the compound, and they used sensitive eavesdropping equipment to try to pick up voices from inside the house and to intercept cellphone calls. A satellite used radar to search for possible escape tunnels.
Still, the spying operation had its limits: the American surveillance team would see a man take regular walks through the compound’s courtyard — they called him “the pacer” — but they were never able to confirm the man was Bin Laden.
The aggressive effort across the intelligence community to translate and analyze the documents seized from the hide-out has as its top priority discovering any clues about terrorist attacks that might be in the works. Intelligence analysts also were scrubbing the files for any information that might lead to identifying the location of Al Qaeda’s surviving leadership.

The CIA needs to set up a similar monitoring situation in a rented house across the street from the half White House. Seal Team Six start training for your next mission.

What a low-life!
Only a person born without a sense of shame could have taken credit for something he didn’t do.

Aaaand just why are they blabbing this info?!? I’m glad the CIA got some credit, but it would be better if the bad guys thought we’d been using drones, satellites and other stuff.

“Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.”

It’s a good thing that Hillary was there to take the phone away from Obama when that 3 AM call came in.

“What a low-life! Only a person born without a sense of shame could have taken credit for something he didn’t do.”
Ironically, it’s a little hard to tell whether you’re commenting on the contents of that implausible report or the reporter claiming any such source exists.
At this point, I really can’t see why PrisonPlanet links aren’t being cited. Once you’ve declared credibility isn’t an issue for you to believe something, what’s the problem? You don’t like Alex Jones’ web design?
Wow, the GOP seems besides itself that OBL was killed:
1) John Yoo complaining that SEALs didn’t give him a Miranda Warning
2) Rummy, Cheney, Condie all on TV claiming that torture provided the leads
Looks like our muslim, terrorist, bastard usurper did four things that Bush/Cheney failed:
1) Don’t give a damn about what Pakistan thinks/feels
2) OBL was living a damn mansion a hundred yards from the Pakistani Military Academy! Hello Condie! Hello Rummy! Don’t you guys think warning the Pakis is bound to tip of the goon? Didn’t that occur to this braintrust after Tora Bora?
3) Dont’ give a damn Miranda warning to a terrorist (John Yoo is a loyal GOOPER but a lousy American)
4) Listen to TR (a GOOPER but a great American) and “talk softly and carry a big stick”. Dressing up like fighter pilot doesn’t impress anyone except men like Anne Coulter and women like Rush Limbaugh.
5) Don’t surrender to terrorists. I know Bush/Cheney are not known for their testosterone (between them I think there 40 draft deferments and Cheney was about to join a Ballet company) but giving to OBL’s demand and leaving Saudia Arabia was a humiliating insult to the US. Generals have said “NUTS” to Nazi surrender demands and we have our cowardly duo surrendering to some nutjob in Pakistan!
@Barry
I have no problem with OBL being killed, actually it makes me happy. But why all the BS from the administration? Show the pics, let the goat fuckers know if you fuck with the bull you get the horn. Who gives a rats ass if some Muslim sensitivities get ruffled because of the pics, most get ruffled because the sun rose out of the East.
1. Obama said in his speech ” bin laden did not represent muslim” then why obama buried him within 24 hrs with all muslim rituals.
2. I think if the terriost wants to attach again they should only attach the gov officials because they always lie and do crazy things, not the innocent american people. Innocent American people pays the price for america bad gov.
3. Also can you imagine if Donald Trump becomes the president he would send the SEAL team 6 to Rossie O’Donnels house, Robert Dinero house and Jerry Sienfleds house. Any time some one make fun of his hair he would order the SEAL team 6 to go attach them.
