Al-Qaeda leader Bin Laden 'dead'. Again.

[Magda Hassan]

This is a complex, multi-faceted psy op, Magda, and you, alas, have been taken in.

This explains the timing. As we here know some people actually do read all the volumes of the Warren Commission and with the release of the Guantanamo files it becomes apparent that the US has known Abbottabad was a safe place and that he was there. So, the brave and fearless Seals were called in to eliminate the inconvenient former US employee. Looks like poor old Osama really was the only person to die as a consequences of the cables being leaked.

Embassy silent over WikiLeaks bin Laden connection

The United States Government will not say if the plan to raid the Pakistan compound harbouring Osama bin Laden was brought forward because of the recent WikiLeaks publication of Guantanamo Bay files.WikiLeaks, along with several news organisations, last week began publishing the first of 779 secret documents about detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
The leaks started on April 25 and contained classified interviews, analyses and memos. Within a week of WikiLeaks' initial Guantanamo releases bin Laden was dead, following a fire-fight when US forces raided his compound at Abbottabad.
It is now known that details of the courier who the CIA followed to bin Laden were obtained from detainees at Guantanamo.
But it is not known how much, if any, of that information was contained in WikiLeaks files yet to be published.
The United States Embassy in Canberra will not say if there was a concern that WikiLeaks information could have been publicly issued that would have jeopardised the plan to get bin Laden.
Ambassador Jeffrey Bleich declined to comment when asked by The Canberra Times yesterday if the timeline of the operation had been affected by WikiLeaks.
And an embassy spokeswoman said she could not say if WikiLeaks had any impact at all on the bin Laden operation or if the schedule had been changed.
US President Barack Obama has confirmed that initial intelligence of bin Laden's whereabouts came to him in August last year, but it took some months to shore up the information and plan the attack.
From April last year WikiLeaks had been publishing various files against the wishes of the US Government, escalating in November with the publication of highly embarrassing US State Department diplomatic cables.
The ambassador briefed the Australian Government on the contents of some of those files.
But the Government would not say if it had been briefed more recently about the WikiLeaks Guantanamo Bay files or if the bin Laden operation was affected by them.
''The Government does not comment on intelligence matters, or the details of diplomatic conversations,'' a spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said yesterday.
White House officials said the plan to raid bin Laden's compound intensified in March.

Jim, it may be any sort of pseudo Osama. I have no trust in the US government. There is no body, no snuff movie shown though one exists apparently, no witnesses (accessible and talking). The soldiers used may be deployed else where and 'killed in combat' later in case they decide to have a talk to God moment and spill the beans. I don't pretend to know what happened. I too suspect he died long ago but regardless if he was dead 10 years ago or just 2 days ago for some reason the US wants to make a big show of seemingly doing away with the evil Moriarty Bin Laden. My point was why now? If the just released cables show that Abbottabad is a well known safe haven where high ranking Al CIAda members have found refuge or been given deluxe house arrest by the ISI then it will be apparent to all and sundry that the US has been complicit in keeping Bin Laden free and alive. By running the recent stage show it provides so much spectacle bread and circuses for the masses to be distracted indefinitely. They have also set up the stage for reprisals, staged or genuine.
