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

An al Qaeda “assassin” accused of bombing Christian churches and a luxury hotel in Pakistan was working for British intelligence at the same time, according to leaked files.

Kristen Breitweiser: The Sad Defeat of Our Constitution
To me, as a lawyer and a 9/11 widow, DOJ’s announcement today acknowledges the sad defeat of our U.S. Constitution when it comes to 9/11. How truly tragic in my eyes. And you would think that a man who was once a constitutional law professor might feel the same way.
