Osama Bin Laden: Authorities Hunt for Terrorists Named in Files Found at Bin Laden's Compound
Osama Bin Laden Was Planning Second 9/11
By PIERRE THOMAS (@PierreTABC) May 19, 2011
The entire U.S. intelligence community is busy pursuing leads from files recovered from Osama bin Laden's Abbottobad, Pakistan, compound to determine whether bin Laden's plots had gone beyond the discussion and planning phase to concrete threats, government sources told ABC News. Sources familiar with bin Laden's handwritten journal and computer files told ABC News that names of suspected al Qaeda operatives had been found in the files, and that an intense effort was under way to find the individuals attached to those names.
A special Media Exploitation Task Force "working 24/7" in shifts has been set up on the grounds of CIA headquarters to exploit the bin Laden files. U.S. intelligence has been trying to determine if the names in the files are real or aliases, and has called on Great Britain and Canada to to help it nail the identifications. "The names that they are finding are extremely important," former FBI Agent Brad Garret said in an interview with ABC News. "I believe that they're under a lot of pressure to resolve and identify these people as quickly as possible." Travel records are being combed to see if any of these people have entered the U.S. already, and names are being added to terrorist watch lists in case any operatives try to come here. Some officials have expressed shock that bin Laden kept so much sensitive material with him in what has been described as the most significant terrorism trove ever discovered.

Well, now they know don’t they?
So, anybody seen Dick Durbin lately?
Who in hell is leaking this stuff??
There should have never been 1/10th of the information come out that has been dribbling in day by day. The SEAL Team that did this is already worried about exposing their families to retaliation, yet the Administration leaked last week that there are live videos from the helmet cameras of the raiders!
How long until some group or another files an FOIA request for those tapes, and exposes the names of the SEALS??
This has been a greased sliding board since Easter Sunday and the politicization of bin Laden’s killing to make Obammy look like a hero is not just sickening, it is incredibly dangerous and a direct threat to our National Security.
ABC reporting on the obvious and self-evident? Go figure, must be a slow news day for the idiots. =.=
The most closed admin in US history (eg: promising obamacare hearings on CSPAN, and then doing it behind closed doors) is all of a sudden totally open with US secrets. I suspect this admin somehow facilitated wikileaks as well. They are open when the info is damaging to the USA.
No one is talking about the tape released late last night of Osama heralding the arab uprisings in Egypt,Tunisa and Libya. Seems that Osama knew these were Islamist and the Muslim Brotherhood inspired riots...how come Obama didn’t know? We know the answer to that of course, but no-one in the spotlight dares to speak it.
Who would have thought that just a mere 10 years after 911, our government would be fighting on the side of terrorists throughout the Muslim world. Go figure.
Now Obama is set to give the Islamists in Egpyt 2 billion dollars of our money today and a bunch of grain(which we are going to be short on due to the floods along the Miss. River). He is also throwing Israel to the wolves. How much longer will this country put up with this insanity?
I see two reasons for the leaks, and I think they’re both at play here:
- To keep the focus off of gas prices, the deficit, the debt, the falling dollar, ObamaCare, etc, etc, etc.
- They’re liberals! They don’t think America should be the leader of the free world and are doing everything in their power to destroy that position.
I’m sure the CIA is sending a thank you note to ABC as we type. /S
OBL could have been taken out in the dark of the night and nothing said.
They knew where he was months, maybe years ago. GW wouldn’t have gone in and assassinated OBL that way. He gave Hussein a chance for a trial by his own people.
Why all this telegraphing? Why did they do this now?
We all know why. Like Clinton, 0 needed a distraction from the BC fake, only whoever did the fake, wasn’t very smart. lol
Unless this was an authorized disinformation leak, sources need to get familiar with a federal prison for the rest of their lives.
even if there was nothing in Osama’s pocket but a shopping list, I’d want all the AQ operatives out there to THINK we had their names and were after them
That’s funny!
What is wrong with him? Why does he start work so late?
Of course they are doing stuff with Osama's stuff.
You could sit here and write all sorts of "let's pretend" stories about that without knowing a single detail.
My favorite one is where Osama's personal diary has revealed the names of members of Congress and various parliaments around the world who TOOK PAYMENTS!
Oh, yes ~ Fur Shur.
>> Unless this was an authorized disinformation leak <<
Just pray that it was!
(But I don’t have much hope.)
Could be some “disinfomation.”
Just think of all these guys who think they *might* be in bin Laden’s file and their. They jack rabbit we follow them and watch where they go, then deliver a Hellfire or small diameter bomb at the appropriate time....
Neah. Nobody in the current administration is that smart or would allow that. This is just to give them a head start getting the heck out of dodge...
