There Was No Firefight

May 4, 2011

There are no bullet holes in the room where the unarmed bin Laden was gunned down. He didn’t live in luxury, and that million-dollar mansion turns out to be a moldy, run-down $250,000 place at most, and un-air conditioned. His unarmed wife, whom the Cheney-trained Seals also shot, is now in a Pakistani hospital, but the US is demanding to “interrogate” (i.e., torture) her. So far the Pakistanis are saying no. Will the US also seek to kidnap his 12-year-old daughter, who saw her father and brother executed? Surely much valuable evidence can be gleaned from her, even if she does die under questioning. No worries. She is a subhuman. Oh, and now we’re told that the rich bin Laden had a laughable $750 in Euros “sewn” into his clothes (in a pocket?) along with two phone numbers, which he couldn’t memorize. Also: there were no weapons at all in the entire “compound.”

UPDATE from Dan Chapman:

I have wondered if he wasn’t tortured before being killed and hence the “burial” at sea. There are any number of reasons for quickly disposing of the body vs. bringing it for more verification, but torture is certainly a reason to dispose of the evidence. We will probably never know how long he may have actually been in custody before being killed.
