your understanding/comprehension<>what I said where did I say release the individual names of the seals
Well it turns out that many who were pinning their belief that enhanced interrogation techniques lead to the courier of Bin Laden on Panetta's statement just had the legs taken out from under them. This is what Panetta had to say about that. So that little BS timeline that basso was trying to pass off about KSM giving up the courier's nom de guerre turns out to be as bogus as a three dollar bill. Sorry guys, it just didn't happen that way.
I don't think I'm the one mistaken. That lame ass guy who was acting like KSM broke the news under waterboarding and gave us the nom de guerre of the courier was wrong according to Panetta. Yet you posted his article full of logical fallacies, and now we know factual mistakes as well.
I pointed those out after basso posted the article in this thread(I think). I pointed out some of them anyway. Feel free to read them, but I'm not going to post it all over again just because you missed it the first time.
interesting indeed. In perhaps the most striking dead-end chase, U.S. officials and others strongly believed bin Laden slipped across the border in Pakistan after dodging capture from an assault on Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan in November 2001. But he was still in Afghanistan and galloping away on horseback in the opposite direction toward the northeastern Kunar province, according to bin Laden's aide Awar Gul, who was arrested in December 2001 and eventually sent to Guantanamo.

you can't really pump up the information gained from Gitmo trying to prop up bush's legacy using an article that makes the intelligence agencies seem like keystone cops in those year
I love it when you get this pissy tone... I doubt I'll go back through 38 pages of posts looking for something you "think" you posted.
Apologies for bumping the thread, but there is an excellent piece in the New Yorker that chronicles the build-up, execution and aftermath of the raid in Abbottabad. Great long-form journalism and very dramatic, especially during the raid. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/08/08/110808fa_fact_schmidle?currentPage=all
Thanks for the link. I'm fascinated by the amount of detail in this article- one would think that some of these specifics would not want to be told to the general public. Regardless, great read.
