It's irresponsible, childish and arrogant to think anyone who has questions is a conspiracy theorist or a nut job and not of sound intellect. Having an open mind and questioning things never leads to anything but the truth.
Here's what i don't agree with, or what i have taken note of mentally that makes no logical sense at the moment. And yes it's imperative for the government of any country to be held responsible by it's citizens. If i was an American this is what i would be asking:
1. US thanks Pakistan for help in killing Bin Laden
a. Bin Laden was IN Pakistan, close to capital of country
b. Bin Laden was IN a compound in a neighbourhood where retired
Pakistani army generals live.
c. Can the worlds most wanted man live in your country, in an area
close to your national capital for any period of time without
public/government finding out?
d. Logically speaking, Pakistan must have knew about Bin Laden's location?
e. Why did Pakistan not arrest/kill Bin Laden?
f. Why did it take 'satellite' images of Bin Laden exercising in
compound for USA to find out location?
2. Americans encountered fire fight/opposition at compound
a. was Bin Laden visually confirmed? How? Gun fights do not erupt
at close, visual range. Especially in a raid.
3. Bin Laden shot, body taken by Americans, given 'proper islamic burial," buried at sea.
a. an operation practiced for a week and in the planning for years
and there was not any care put into publicly confirming death,
compound, circumstances? No real footage release yet, no
pictures. And now no body?
In a nutshell: Pakistan congratulated on helping kill Bin Laden when Bin Laden spent a substantial amount of time in the area of retired generals, near capital of country. American team practiced raid for one week, raided compound, shot Bin Laden, took body, have not released any proof of what happened and subsequently buried the body at sea. Everyone is celebrating the death of Bin Laden and the government who killed him wants us to believe they paid him the respect of giving him an Islamic burial? (Hussein , Milosevic given trials and executed…Osama assassinated yet given proper burial? Makes no sense)
I understand that it will take time for details to come out. But for an operation that took years of intelligence gathering and a week of practice, shouldn't certain details to be known as fact and not super sensitive be released to the public by now? If Obama's writers had enough time to prepare a speech, you'd think the government would come out and release certain details they have known for a while like how Bin Laden was able to hide so close to Islamabad, what Pakistan's role was in his capture etc.
