Phi Beta Iota: Worth reading, in part because every day that passes adds weight to our view that this is a massive, expensive, long-planned CIA covert operation. Bin Laden was not about assassination, nor was he a micro-manager. This comes across as a CIA kludge–the kitchen sink. We speculate there is actually a timeline at CIA with specific stories planned for release every other day between now and November 2012. This reeks.

EXTRACT: Let’s start with what I consider the most-obvious proof that the Obama administration is lying. It comes from a world-class microbiologist who allowed me to use this quote on condition of anonymity. The simple proof of his accuracy is to just ask any microbiologist experienced in DNA sequencing about his statement. There are tens of thousands of them around the world.
{Citing a world-class microbiologist]:
“I know DNA. And, one thing I know about DNA is that you cannot, repeat CANNOT: take a tissue sample from a shot-in-the noggin-dead-guy in a north central Pakistan special forces op, extract the DNA, prepare the DNA for assay, test the DNA, curate the raw DNA sequence data, assemble the reads or QC the genotype, compare the tested DNA to a reference, and make a positive identity determination….all in 12 hours – let alone transport the tissue samples all the places they'd need to have gone in order to get this done.”
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.), who is poised to launch his presidential campaign tomorrow, said this week he would not have authorized the mission that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, arguing that killing bin Laden was unnecessary and that he has “respect for the rule of law.”
The Texas congressman questioned whether Obama could have gotten away with the operation if Usama bin Laden had been in a country other than Pakistan.
“What if he had been in a hotel in London?” Paul said on Newsradio 1040 WHO. “So would we have sent the … helicopters into London because they were afraid the information would get out? No, you don't want to do that.”
My phone ran hot last week with calls from media. After giving numerous interviews to TV, radio, and print media, there was a discernable pattern as to what journalists were after.
EXTRACT:
The reality of what most Muslims thought was, of course, far more nuanced and, dare I say it, reasonable. On our part, we had issued a statement on the killing of bin Laden in which we highlighted the substantive points on the matter.

One, Western Governments have committed far greater acts of terrorism than any individual. Two, the issue is not the person of bin Laden but the context of his struggle being a struggle of resistance against Western imperialism in the Muslim World – a resistance which Muslims globally relate to. Third, the killing of bin Laden was no real victory, it would make little difference on the ground, and the ‘War on Terror’, on the whole, was in fact a resounding failure.
These assertions confounded, apparently, most of the journalists.
Phi Beta Iota: This individual means well and probably remembers what he was told, but CIA has a history of lying to Presidents, Attorney Generals, and Congress and we professionals know for a FACT that waterboarding does not work, it creates false leads, and only morons support the concept in their ignorance.
The Arab Spring began on 30 January 2011. Bin Laden was allegedly killed on 1 May 2011. 90 days. One of many truth-tellers is the absence of any reference to the Arab Spring in the Bin Laden “Journal.”
CIA can of course invent something after the fact, but forensic analysis of the actual documents–if they are ever made available–will probably show nothing to suggest that Bin Laden was alive during the Arab Spring.
Phi Beta Iota: Obama appears unwitting of the fact that the real Arab Spring and the real Bin Laden had the same objectives: an end to corruption, including dictatorships and including US imperial privileges in Arabia.
Phi Beta Iota: We have mixed feelings. There is a 20% possibility that Bin Laden was actually there and killed, and a 20% possibility that the journals and other recovered materials are real. What we find troubling are two things: 1) the gullibility of Senators who are not forensic experts and have not had access of any sort to the actual body (unless he was captured but this is a stretch as well); and 2) the likelihood that the high-school gibberish in these journals, whether real or concocted, will over-shadow all reasonable thought in the next year. This is THEATER. Terrorism is a TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. What is being done (and not done) in our name is a million times more important than this ridiculous abuse of US power for the wrong reasons.
