US has collected 14 hard discs and some 100 storage devices fron the site....there could be more shakening coming ..
Hasty burial at sea for no good reason?
I say he is alive, if he was at the compound. The US is interrogating him and will eventually kill him and release the pictures.
They didn't want to announce the capture since that would have possibly spiked terrorist attacks against Western targets to bargain for his release and/or act in his name.
The US will eventually kill him, because it would be very hard to conceal a prisoner of his status for any long period of time. Get whatever information they can out of him, and then shoot him as described in the press releases and dump his body into the sea from some AC Carrier.
Absolutely right.
What is the gain in 'protecting' OBL? Nothing. It would be all loss. Now, one can argue that Pakistan does have some stakes in factions of Talibans, especially the Haqqani faction, to exercise counter-India influence there. But that is different. You can certainly accuse ISI of incompetence and debate that.
Now, to our Non-Pakistani guests:
If you are here to bash Pakistan then you will only inflame passions and achieve nothing. Pushed to a corner unjustifiably even the most liberal Pakistanis are going to push back. If bashing is the goal then please go to Bharat Rakshak or Yahoo etc.
But if you are here to understand Pakistan and the war and want peace in this world then hear us loud and clear: OBL was most UNwelcome even in the best of times (1996-2001) when Pakistani allies ruled Afghanistan. His presence was nothing but a source of anarchy, bloodshed and shame. Pakistan would gain nothing by 'harboring' him. Do some critical thinking.
That sweet piece of stealth shall be sent to china for some reverse engineering and material analysis.

He has also previously served as U.S. ambassador to Iraq, as well as U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan and also as special presidential envoy to Afghanistan.
I thought my statement was blunt- inviting India to dare an attack-
Is Osama Bin Laden Really Dead, Could This Be Fake?
Is Osama Bin Laden Really Dead, Could This Be Fake? | Excerptz
In the last few hours reports have emerged that Osama Bin Laden is dead, Barrack Obama has confirmed as such, and jubilant celebrations are taking place throughout America. The one question that I am asking, and perhaps many others are asking, is where is the proof? Where is the proof that Osama Bin Laden is dead? Why dont we have a picture? Why has he been buried at sea so quickly without DNA testing to ensure that they have the right man?
Osama Bin Laden has plenty of professional lookalikes, employed to act as a decoy in the hunt for Bin Laden (if that hunt ever existed), how can they be certain that the man killed (if any man has been killed) is Bin Laden, without laboratory tests confirming his identity? I guess that the death wouldnt be faked, as Osama Bin Laden could simply make a new video ridiculing the claims, unless .. unless Bin Laden struck a deal?
I find it most unusual that he was found just outside of Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan. You wouldnt image a criminal hiding in New York, or London, or Paris, or Bangkok, would you? Whilst it has only been a few hours, something just doesnt add up for me. If somebody tells you that they have five million dollars, do you believe them? Or do you wait until you have seen their Rolex watch and Ferrari?
With so many conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 and the relationship between the American government and the Bin Laden family, it surely cant be long until the conspiracy theories emerge which seek to prove that Bin Laden hasnt died. Will America regret throwing Bin Laden into the sea at that point? Or have they retained the proof? Or have they actually retained the dead body?
Im not going to be the person that presents a conspiracy theory, but I will certainly be watching news reports with great interest, to see how it is that the American administration intend to prove his death. You also have to ask how long Pakistan have known his whereabouts. Does the £450m ($720m) recently pledged in aid by the British administration play a role in this?
Have Obama and Cameron effectively bought intelligence in order to paint a picture of an Anglo-American partnership which succeeded where Bush and Blair failed? Perhaps driven by their buddy Rupert Murdoch? Lots to think about sheeple.
