Wetcoaster Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The New Yorker magazine has just published an extensive recap of the night the US military slipped into Pakistan and killed Osama Bin-Laden and it differs from what the US had been saying about the operation. The raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan was a mission to kill him, and there was "never any question" he would be captured alive, one of those directly involved has claimed. The most detailed account so far of the assassination of the world's most wanted man describes the May 1 operation in Abbottabad as a "covert mission into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden". Published in The New Yorker magazine, it presents the strongest challenge yet to the Obama administration's insistence that the al-Qaida chief, codenamed "Crankshaft", could have been captured had he "conspicuously surrendered". An unnamed U.S. special operations officer, said to be "deeply familiar with the bin Laden raid", told the magazine that the 23 Navy Seals were clear that this was not the case. "There was never any question of detaining or capturing him," the officer said. "It wasn't a split-second decision. No one wanted detainees." The plan, according to the article's author, Nicholas Schmidle, was for the Seals to "overpower bin Laden's guards, shoot and kill him at close range, and then take the corpse back to Afghanistan". In May, John Brennan, Mr Obama's counter-terrorism chief, said the commandos would not have killed their target if they were confident he was not carrying an "improvised explosive device on his body" or "some type of hidden weapon". http://www.theprovince.com/news/Osama+raid+Classified+details+revealed+SEAL+team/5192777/story.html#ixzz1Tv6c1Y1g A highly recommended (if somewhat lengthy) read: Getting Bin Laden What happened that night in Abbottabad. by Nicholas Schmidle http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/08/08/110808fa_fact_schmidle#ixzz1Tv6CAbgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthNinja Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Pentagon Admits No Evidence of Bin Laden's Death Pentagon officials recently disclosed to the Associated Press (AP) that they could not find any photo or video evidence to confirm that Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in the Navy Seal raid in Pakistan a year ago. AP has submitted more than 20 requests for information surrounding the raid on Bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound to the U.S. Government under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In response to the request for visual evidence of Bin Laden’s death, the Pentagon stated that it could not find any pictures or video footage of the raid itself or of Bin Laden’s dead body. It also told AP it could not locate any images of Bin Laden’s body that were taken on the U.S.S. Carl Vinson, the Navy aircraft carrier that reportedly lowered him into the sea after his death. In addition, the Pentagon admitted that it could not find an autopsy report, death certificate or results of a DNA identification test for Bin Laden, in spite of claims made by President Obama and reported by CBC News that a DNA test was performed. These admissions follow a related FOIA response by the Department of Defense in February, in which it stated that it had no emails concerning the Bin Laden raid that were sent prior to its execution. The Atlantic Wire reported in February that the CIA claimed it had visual proof of Bin Laden’s death, but the Pentagon’s admission that it does not have any evidence of this kind still raises significant questions, since its jurisdiction includes the Navy Seals that conducted the raid and the Navy ship that buried Bin Laden at sea. The latest revelation drew the suspicion of Lt. Col. Robert Bowman (ret.), the former director of Advanced Space Programs Development for the U.S. Air Force. “It makes the official story sound very fishy,” Bowman said in an interview with Digital Journal. “Without proof, I’m not buying it carte blanche.” Bowman also pointed to the reports that Bin Laden died in 2001 or 2002, which have been supported by former FBI counter-terrorism chief Dale Watson, former assistant Secretary of State Steve Pieczenik, former U.S. foreign intelligence officer Angelo Codevilla and other intelligence experts. “This smacks of a cover-up,” Bowman added. Some organizations contend that the cover-up extends beyond the Bin Laden raid, including Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, a group of over 1,600 technical professionals that is calling for a new 9/11 investigation. "The raid is not the only part of the Bin Laden narrative that doesn't add up," said founder Richard Gage, AIA. "It's also highly unlikely that Bin Laden and Al Qaeda had access to plant the explosives that brought down the Twin Towers and Building 7." Meanwhile, President Obama called for a time of remembrance and contemplation on the anniversary of the raid. "I think for us to use that time for some reflection, to give thanks to those who participated is entirely appropriate, and that’s what’s been taking place," he said on Monday, according to McClatchy News. It remains to be seen how the public will reflect on the lack of credible evidence surrounding the demise of the world’s most wanted terrorist.

butters Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm glad the article clearly stated its slant by talking about explosives bringing down the twin towers. Otherwise I might have taken me a few minutes to realise the articel was conspiracy BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It was a CIA-led mission that involved numerous agencies, including the DoD. But in any case, the DoD declared that both they and the CIA conducted DNA tests, yet the DoD is now unable to locate the results or conduction of such a test.

Sharpshooter Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 They could have I suppose, but this would only add to the virulent stench. What we know for certain is that the DoD performed DNA tests and cannot locate the tests or the results. I suppose it goes back to the same set of rhetorical questions: Does the US government repeatedly lie? Does the US media repeatedly lie? Are the CIA/DoD honest, trustworthy and forthright entities? ... Who told you bin Laden was killed in a raid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
