There are 15 survivors from bin Laden's compound, including his youngest wife.

the Pakistani govt is holding them and will not let Americans question them. This was on BBC news tonight. No wonder there is tension between the 2 countries..... Can you imagine the stories these people can tell? I can't imagine being a 17 year girl, marrying an old terrororist was a great deal of fun.....

1. They may be more concerned about covering their own backsides

should these people tell what they know of OBL's relationship with the government of Pakistan, its military, and its intelligence service.

3. The Paks are trying to extract some names -

so they can then approach the named terrorists and ask for the usual retainer ($$$$$) to protect them from the US.

The ISI is probably assembling a portfolio of lovely new compounds for the terrorist families to pick from. One way or another I feel certain that Fannie or Freddie will end up backing the mortgage.

4. So, to be clear, the evil American troops out to execute OBL left witnesses?
