re: #182 Killgore Trout

There were early reports like this one…
Pakistan has bin Laden wife, children in custody

Might be a false report, misquote or whatever. Despite what a lot of people seem to think, Obama has not shut down secret cia blacksites and rendering suspects to other governments for harsher interrogation. The missing bin laden son was supposed to be the heir to Al Qaeda. He’s gone missing and nobody’s seen or heard from him. If he was taken I suppose the wives might tell the story. We may never know for sure but I suspect he’ll not be seen again.

Yes, the wives are in Pakistan. These are Islamist wives. Do you think they know anything that was not in the reams of data that was collected?

There is another older son that could could have been there, but his inside knowledge is unknown, as is he in Al Qaeda, and even if he had been captured he would not likely be prosecutable without something very specific tied to him.

The persons to capture would have been the “courier” killed, but the objective was not to capture and make martyr of anyone. I think OBL would have been shot had he been on his knees with hands in the air.

I don’t buy any more conspiracies in this regard.
