Why oh why does there always have to be some kind of conspiracy theory that goes with any major event that takes place in the world. Are we no longer capable of accepting that some things really do happen?!!
.. because in this case there are too many questions, IMHO.
How could he have been living under the shadow of the Pakistani military without the U.S., not least the Pakistanis, knowing about it despite the property having been tagged as "suspicious" years previously?
I'd bet that if someone built a fortress in the middle of Aldershot and moved in a wanted terrorist it would attract a little scrutiny.
Why did they shoot him dead? He was allegedly unarmed, frail and unable to walk so unlikely to have been a threat to the special forces. Wouldn't they have taken him alive in such circumstances? Wouldn't he have been more use alive?
They managed to stop his wife coming for them with a bullet in the leg, apparently. Why not him? His death, as presented, was either a lie or a summary execution.
Why are the US now blurting about the data they have got from his PCs, hard drives, memory sticks, etc? Surely that data will become useless now it is known - unless they have nothing and are hoping it will spook some of his followers into relocating?
Would the US not have gathered some evidence of his capture and presented it to stop all this (predictable) speculation if they could? Would they not have at least kept his body rather than getting shot of it as soon as possible?
I reckon that the release of
propaganda news related to this event is being heavily "managed" for political reasons if nothing more sinister.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's a decoy at the bottom of the ocean and he's on a slow boat to Guantanamo being milked for everything they can get.
