WikiLeaks: Osama bin Laden 'protected' by Pakistani security

www.telegraph.co.uk...

very interesting article and it seems that he was protected, even though a blind person could see that.

I guess that's why the Pakistan government wasn't told about the attack

Well this is certainly another move on the chess board. It seems America is moving quickly to start pointing fingers at Pakistan. Since the death of OBL there have been allegations thrown at Pakistan at their complacency to find OBL sitting right under their noses. America is quickly distancing itself and I wonder if they feel Pakistan has served their purpose and are not worth taking on-board as the next geopolitical surge of decisions take place.

This is complete validation the OS is more truth than fiction, yet most ATS'rs are spouting off complete BS.
Has ATS been infiltrated by ISI? One said we are idiots!
Very nice find, S&Fs!

Pakistan has been on the receiving end of $18 billion dollars from the US in military aid since 9/11. OBL was their cash cow. They've been playing the US all along.

Anytime the aid was held up or US force would act unilaterally, Pakistan would refuse to assist the US in pursuing Al-Queda. Remember the convoy of 50 Nato supply trucks that Pakistan held up at the border, that was then torched by "Al-Queda"? It happened repeatedly between June and October of last year, with another 22 trucks torched in October 2010 (Pakistan’s Convoy Halt Forces U.S. to Reduce Tensions).

I think Pakistan's generals were content to let the US and Nato chase around every cave in Afghanistan, knowing OBL was safe, warm, and watching TV in a compound a stone's throw away from their prestigious military academy.

The US's initial actions in the "war on terror" were incredibly inept, we gave aid to the group that was protecting OBL, and in 2003, when we supposedly had OBL bottled up in Tora Bora we withdraw our forces to invade Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with OBL or Al-Queda (A Timeline of the Iraq War)

I think OBL was an ISI asset from day one.

It is beginning to look like 911 was a Pakistan ISI plot, which would make sense considering the scope of the operation, only a state run agency like ISI could really have the means to pull it off.

Both Bhutto and Musharraf said OBL had died years ago, and yet there he was, living comfortably in the heart of ISI land.

The stink of all this makes me want to throw-up.

It is time to put Pakistan in the dock to answer for their duplicity, if not their culpability.

With friends like Pakistan who needs enemies. I was worried about Paki nukes before this news doesnt do much to alay my concerns i'll tell you that much.

should have skipped on iraq and afganistan and just went straight for pakistan.

unless iraq and afganistan were allies of pakistan, then it begins to all make sense.

perhaps saudi arabia was the target all along, and all these others simply needed to be removed first?

or are we just trying to surround china and russia? and its just easier to make it seem like we are at war with all these meaningless nations?

damn...my tinfoil hat just fell off....

I have a feeling that this will kick off something between the US and pakistan. To me it shows all the muslims countries watching each other's back, all against the west. World war anyone?
