Osama bin Laden found dead, body in US custody

[barronj]

In Frank's thread about the thread that unravelled the whole thing, it said our intel was kept from Britain & others. It wouldn't surprise me if they had the same supsicions/hunches/details.

It's a miracle how the gubment can get a DNA match in under 12 hours... that's some CSI type shit.

It would be better if the story of killing him/dumping him out like yesterday's trash at sea was a ruse for what's really afoot. Keeping him alive, wringing every last bit of intel out of him... sounds more like our tune to dance to.

I just heard Wendy Chamberlain on CNN say the decision Obama made to go through with this mission was just as "courageous" as the SEAL team who carried it out.
And so it begins...

Only a heroic news anchor would dare report that.

What did they have to match the DNA to?
Doesn't DNA matching require one confirmed DNA to match the 2nd set to in order to identify a person?

You don't think the CIA can find confirmed relatives of Bin Laden? He has a son that's very outspoken against him and one of his half sisters died in Boston a few years ago. His mother is also still alive in Saudi Arabia, if the King wants a DNA sample from her he's going to get it.

in 24 hours? I am just saying it would had more credibility to the already extremely fishy story.

Actually, being a CIA (or former CIA) asset, he would already have a DNA sample in the database. I had a swab sample taken back in 2004 before coming out here the first time.

Still, 24 hours for them to take the sample, fly it to a lab and for the lab to do a test on it, probably a couple times to ensure the validity and then for that report to go to another bureaucrat who then reports to another who eventually reports it to the president? In 24 hours?

We can't even get authorization to launch a missile in 24 hours. Hell Obama took 5 meetings with his security council to get up the courage to tell the SEALS to do their job. Good on the SEALS, fuck Obama.

It was already set up, ready to go. Hell, even Maury can find out if you're not the daddy by the end of the commercial break.

You do realize what could have potentially happened if things went sour right? A couple of dozen SEALs were about to set feet in Pakistan a good ways past the border and light up a house in a fairly calm neighborhood. Not exactly the kind of thing you decide like you're choosing what to eat for lunch.
