Gubmint official says: “They are going to want it back”
They develop a plan to trick the Russians into thinking the sub sank in the deepest part of the ocean. With the Russians off their back, they can proceed to interrogate, I mean examine, the secret sub undisturbed for as long as they want to. Then dumping, I mean sinking, the evidence into the deep ocean like they said they did in the first place.
Now the Russians are a little bit skeptical since they have not seen any photos of the sunken sub. Absent wide spread demands for the photos, skepticism dies. The charade is a success.
You also have to wonder why we started broadcasting to the world that we had captured computers and DVD and reams of intelligence information.
The mere fact that Al Queda knew that we got a bunch of stuff would make them melt away. Makes you wonder if we didn’t actually get anything, or, if we got bin Laden alive and are running a scam on him.
Occam’s razor says Obama and Leon Panetta are far too stupid to pull off something like this, and in actuallity they are blundering about making mistake after mistake in how they handle the intelligence gained in the raid.
