I wonder what information was confiscated from Bin Laden's compound?
Think BushCo might be shaking in its boots?

16. Because he campaigned for the GOP in 2002, 2004, and 2010.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/timeline-bin-ladens-mocking-messages-since-2001/

He may have been a murderous bastard, but unlike others I could name he was not stupid. His objective was to damage and destroy America, and he knew quite well that supporting the Republican Party by rearing his head in September and October of election years was sure to throw knee-jerk support to the side he wanted to fight.

In 2004, Ashcroft and Rumsfeld even attempted to coerce Tom Ridge into raising the terror-o-meter to coincide with the elections and the release of the bin Laden tape. In other words, they were attempting to leverage bin Laden's "support."

Add to that the peculiar story of how the 9/11 terrorists showed up on Jack Abramoff's casino boat the day they were instructed to return their remaining funds to al Qaeda, and the fact that the Pakistani intelligence chief authorized the wiring of a large sum of money to those terrorists (and was later fired for it when India burned him for it) and was in DC having breakfast with Bob Graham and (future CIA chief) Porter Goss on 9/11, while just down the street Poppy was hanging out with Osama's brother, and yeah, BushCo should be shitting its pants.

I detect a certain amount of snark in your statement above, but this is an important point worth making.

7. Don't know, but most people don't realize that een when they THINK their info has been
erased, it's still able to be regenerated by the good guys. (Or by the guys who are good at doing that!)

8. Well if something I read is true....
10,000,000,000 photos of Whitney Houston and not much else.
Seriously though, an amazing amount of data, and likely not much in english, so it will be a while.

19. Hopefully camp locations and bank accounts
Edited on Tue May-03-11 06:59 PM by EC
Then I hope we have teams set up to move fast, because I'm sure there are camps and safe houses emptying out right now.


Sorry didn't see the last part of your post, Bushie stuff? No there would be nothing in writing. Bank statements might be interesting though.
