It’s been four years since a group of
US Navy Seals assassinated Osama bin Laden in a night raid on a
high-walled compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The killing was the high
point of Obama’s first term, and a major factor in his re-election. The
White House still maintains that the mission was an all-American affair,
and that the senior generals of Pakistan’s army and Inter-Services
Intelligence agency (ISI) were not told of the raid in advance. This is
false, as are many other elements of the Obama administration’s account.
The White House’s story might have been written by Lewis Carroll: would
bin Laden, target of a massive international manhunt, really decide
that a resort town forty miles from Islamabad would be the safest place
to live and command al-Qaida’s operations? He was hiding in the open. So
America said.
