This is huge. It hasn't gotten any press in the US, but this raises a bunch of interesting questions. When did the CIA actually learn of Bin Laden's where about? Why did they wait so long to kill him (I'm assuming that if nothing else our intercepts are good enough to have gotten a whiff of his location long before the hit)? If they knew where he was then why did they decide (I'm assuming that they knew his location and were gathering intel from him) to stop collecting intel....meaning what made them decide that it was time to kill him?
The questions can go on. I can't wait to see if this hits the mainstream press.
