Mike, you wrote- "Arguing against that is Islamic tendencies to put explosives on their bodies and the time factor, with Pakistani jets looking to take out a helicopter or two." I don't get your logic at all. The Paki jets weren't known about until they lifted off, in all probability. And the explosives(doomsday bomb) argument can't be right either, as these guys would have been blown up as soon as they hit the third floor and OBL knew he was toast. A tranquilizer gun or some such would have done the job in just the same time as a bullet. The only question would be if there were witnesses to the fact that OBL was NOT shot dead. If there were then they would have to have taken them as well(or injected them with a retrograde amnesia inducing drug?), or killed them(i.e. - the ultimate retrograde amnesia inducing action<g>). Snatching that courier in would have been a smart thing too. There are all kinds of scenarios where this could have worked without an undue amount of time. And you have to remember that the Seals did take the time to collect hard drives and other potentially valuable intelligence material after they secured the place. And the Pakis are now saying that there was no resistance. It just gets weirder and weirder... Anyway, I find it strange that here in SI and other forums, with all the tremendous amount of talk about this subject, that no posters I've come across are suggesting the possibility of the scenario that I just have. Maybe I'm a just a nutcase. <g> craig
