(Reuters) - The Pakistan army condemned on Friday a report in the New York Times that a cell phone found in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden contained contacts to a militant group with ties to Pakistan's intelligence agency.

The newspaper, citing senior U.S. officials briefed on the findings, reported on Thursday that the discovery indicated that bin Laden used the group, Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen, as part of his support network inside Pakistan.

The cell phone belonged to bin Laden's courier, who was killed along with the al Qaeda leader in the May 2 raid by U.S. special forces on bin Laden's compound in the garrison town of Abbottabad, the Times said.

Pakistan army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said in a statement sent by text message that the military "rejects the insinuations made in the NYT story."

3. The US supply lines to Afghanistan start in Pakistan

The US is so screwed.

It is obvious that the Pakistan military was protecting Osama. What are we going to do? Demand an interrogation of the Pakistani Army officers?

7. After President Obama took office, the US worked out agreements

to ship the most sensitive military hardware through central asia, avoiding Pakistan. The shipping route are controlled by US military personnel. Another positive move by President Obama, when compared to the person that held the Presidency before him.

9. I side with the Pakistanis

"I've been following this somewhat lately, and I think the intelligence community is lying through their teeth.







Comparing the stills from the latest released bin Laden video with 2000 era images, it doesn't look like the same person or persons. The ears don't match up. To put it into context, an impostor pretending to be Anastasia Romanov was debunked because her ears didn't match up with genuine photos of the princess.

I think the raid was faked. The director of the CIA even admitted that the camera was blacked out for 25 minutes and that Obama didn't really see much of anything in the situation room.

The fact that they disposed of the body so quickly without allowing any third party investigations or that they won't release photos of his body doesn't do much to assuage my suspicions.

I think its all a falsification, like the Zimmerman note and the 2nd Gulf of Tonkin incident, to make the American public think that war with Pakistan is necessary. The intelligence community can pretty much claim anything about Pakistan by saying they found evidence on his hard drive or cell phone that links him to the ISI or the military. "
