  • weicker said president obama team as talking about the

  • the raided

  • widget it's quite apparent was simply to kill osama bin laden

  • like i say my biggest lament yeah

  • i don't frankly care of that guy lives or dies

  • we killed over a hundred thousand innocent civilians in iraq

  • forty five hundred of our u_s_ military personnel

  • died in battle

  • tomorrow why

  • for a total loss

  • killed thousands of afghani civilians

  • the idea that osama bin laden is dead

  • and died at

  • because we excluded him i don't care

  • the biggest this the real thing that we should mourn in this instance

  • is the fact that

  • what was once in a source of pride for this country our ability

  • to actually um

  • actually put people like this on trial

  • like the guys who attempted to blow up

  • the world trade center in ninety three

  • we've lost that ability

  • we have lost

  • given away

  • we've thrown in the garbage can

  • one of the most important value american values that we had was

  • our sense of a judiciary

  • handing out justice

  • already ended

  • but meanwhile uh... as the stories role in about this

  • and this is stuff that i've been a little alluding to an end

  • have been speculating on since since monday

  • when i was on route again last week on monday

  • i was asking these experts

  • we have to give the pakistan they clearly knew that he was there and i

  • think it's becoming even more clear

  • as i've speculated over the weeks over the weekend should say

  • but he was probably in prison

  • probably in a under house arrest in pakistan at least for the past five

  • years

  • obama made it clear last night on sixty minutes

  • that then lyden has been held up in that

  • villa

  • for five years that's not what eight fugitive guts

  • fugitives do not stay in one place for

  • five

  • yours

  • especially when there's people on american television two thousand eight

  • telling them they know where they are

  • and when you have

  • christine amanpour going on bill maher saying that u_s_ military personnel

  • u_s_

  • military intelligence

  • he was in a villa in pakistan in two thousand eight

  • and george bush close down

  • the c_i_a_ agency alec

  • that was passed finding that line

  • so i think that what's becoming clear

  • new york times

  • the story of a lot of the picture bin laden sitting on the floor in a small

  • room wrapped in a blanket as you watch news clips about himself on television

  • wash impose as intelligence official scrutinize image of the countdown they

  • saw

  • that a man emerge most days to stroll around the grounds of courtyard for an

  • hour to you

  • but almost like what they had with the bradley manning and

  • washing posts also summing it up in two thousand six been ones were not the died

  • but a free man but if some of them a lot and died

  • a prisoner in a jail of his own making

  • a man without a nation living apart even from those who shared belief that mass

  • murder was the path to power

  • this guy was as if he was in a prison

  • the world's most

  • wanted terrorist lived his last five years

  • imprison behind a they barbed wire and high walls of his home in about about

  • edna

  • abit about

  • pakistan

  • his days consumed by dark arts in domesticity

  • this sounds to me like a guy under house arrest in pakistan

  • and it also sounds to me like

  • our intelligence services at least as ladies out is as early as i wait

  • maybe you know five

  • maybe in two thousand two when george bush said i'm not that worried about him

  • we knew that he was being held by the pakistanis

  • and yet he was used as a bogeyman over and over and over again

  • as the real question that needs to be asked now is

  • lot of pakistan decide this was the time to give ma

  • what did we have to give an exchange

  • why wasn't the bush administration

  • pressuring

  • pakistan to give him a

  • these are all the questions that are being asked

  • who died when on democracy now the other day uh... graham smith

  • from the globeandmail newspaper in britain

  • saying that you know they were gas meters and electric meters

  • for that compound

  • and we can't quite find out who own too but it was military land he was living

  • now up at www pakistani military

  • rents leases land all the time

  • but it really does make one wonder

  • how it is that some of the mob would bill the compound

  • lived there for five years around the corner from

  • the pakistani west point

  • and they never know

  • so this isn't just the highest side at this point right

  • there's the pakistani military

  • graham smith said you know it was described initially as a mansion but he

  • really did look more like a security compound of some kind almost like a

  • small prison

  • so these are the questions that

  • should be asked at this point now of course i know how

  • inappropriate it it's

  • to look back

  • to not turn the page the
