CNN reports that Osama Bin Laden was killed in a mansion outside of the capital city of Islamabad. To what extent was the ISI providing security for his family and operations? Is it a coincidence that his home was so close to the Pakistani Capital and Military Academy?
CIA and Black Ops played a significant role in locating and ultimately hunting down the most sought after man in the 21st Century. What will the response be from the Pakistani government? Was the ISI operating on behalf of both CIA and Bin Laden? How will the people of Pakistan view the operation? I would assume that the ISI is large enough to have competing groups or sectors that could undermine each other's objectives. How do Pakistani citizens react to the US involvement?
The official statements from Pakistan and US indicate a mutual respect for each others' work and accomplishment, as any diplomatic relationship should operate in a PR setting of this magnitude. Multiple US news sources portrayed the Pakistani response as incompetent, while Pakistan attempted to spin the US actions as a team effort.
How did US gather intelligence to lead to Bin Laden's mansion? Conservative news outlets and military rumors suggest 'enhanced' interrogation techniques were used to gather information from detainees. Allegedly, a third party (or country) did the heavy lifting, while the CIA asked the questions.
At what point does a government lose the ability to control security operations within its own country? When does the US step up to provide security? How is foreign aid distributed? How many people have to die before NATO, US or Allies step up to the plate to defend freedoms that our citizens so frequently take for granted? Under what circumstances should NATO remove dictators from power? It is estimated that Joseph Stalin's killed regime executed anywhere from 2 million to 62 million citizens.
