I'm sorry, but he probably looks like a loads of other Muslim men.
The immediate area around a military compound is probably the best place for a wanted man to hide.
Should he have hidden in a cave?

daniel it boils down to the fact that the CIA took 4+ years after the first lead to find an unusual man in an unusual place but found him in the end: you mean to say the ISI hadn't a clue who lived in this big fat bunker built 6 years ago in the middle of a peaceful neighbourhood ? If they didn't, they have a lot to answer for... if they did, go figure !
end of trollfeed :p
I simply don't see the logic in that statement. Do the ISI know who lives in every building in Pakistan? Do the CIA know who lives in every building in the US? The fact that Ozzy seemingly spent a lot of time in this place, yet the US spent most of its time looking for him in the mountains of Afghanistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan says it all. There is practically nothing that would have stopped Ozzy from crossing the border into India or into Bangladesh or wherever. But logic dictates that he would stay where his support base is strongest. Lets say for a moment that he had been in India? Would we then have accused India of supporting him? By this same logic, the US supported the people who flew the aircraft into the twin towers on the basis that they lived AND trained in the USA. No one would suggest that because of course it is in fact ridiculous.Quote:

For those who think Pakistan was happy to have Ozzy there because he was found near a military base, this might make some good reading for you :) http://www.wtc7.net/ :)
There's something really fishy about this guy being buried at sea .
Did he fall out of the plane or something ? That happens all the time .
They "took custody" of his body .
And , then dropped it the ocean ?
Fishy , fishy , fishy .
What's going on here ?

Nothing is going on. It's really simple: they don't want his followers to have a place to go to honour his memory. Muslims need to be buried within 24 hours of their death and Americans, very wisely, honoured that since the mission is accomplished, no need to make his followers/other muslims any more angry.Quote:

Indeed. Plus trying to find a country to accept the body of the worlds most hated man would be a touch challenging wouldn't you say?Quote:

Buried or unburied, for fundamentalists the guy will become a martir anyway. The wise move would have been to catch him alive and to send him to court.
Been there. Done that. What was his name again? Sadam someone or other.Quote:

Daniel: where did you hear that about SA? Very interesting.
