Death of Bin Laden May Distract from a More Disturbing Story

Bin Laden was never indicted for the crime of 9/11 by US authorities, even though he was always regarded as a suspect. The media has lately referred to him as the “mastermind” of the attacks, when in actuality it is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who has been officially named the mastermind, despite controversies regarding the reliability of his testimony and the nature of his role. More importantly, however, the role of the Pakistani ISI may well be even more significant than those of Osama Bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

The unredacted Guantanamo files show clearly that the trail to Abbottabad was known to the US intelligence services at least since 2005.

White House Struggles to Get Story Right on Raid

WASHINGTON – Killing Osama bin Laden was a big victory for Obama, but how exactly the raid went down is another story — and another, and another. Over two days, the White House has offered contradictory versions of events, including misidentifying which of bin Laden’s sons was killed and wrongly saying bin Laden’s wife died in gunfire, as it tries to sort through what the president’s press secretary called the “fog of combat” and produce an accurate account.
