Global back channel current events just got really interesting, but not for any of the official reasons..
Osama Bin Laden Killed by US Forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan The Official Story.
Bin Laden Is Dead ... But Why Didn't We Kill Him 10 Year Ago? Washington's Blog. Links from article, color emphasis mine. Excerpts:
According to the U.S. Senate - Bin Laden was "within the grasp" of the U.S. military in Afghanistan in December 2001, but that then-secretary of defense Rumsfeld refused to provide the soldiers necessary to capture him.
This is not news: it was disclosed in 2005 by the CIA field commander for the area in Afghanistan where Bin Laden was holed up.
In addition, French soldiers allegedly say that they easily could have captured or killed Bin Laden in Afghanistan, but that the American commanders stopped them.
And:
Postscript: Of course, some people claim that Bin Laden was actually killed years ago. But as I pointed out in 2009, whether or not he was alive or dead was less important than the fact that the American government pretended that he was a supremely powerful boogeyman who justified an endless and all-consuming war on terror:
Many people claim that Bin Laden died a long time ago. According to Israeli intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, and other sources, Bin Laden is dead.
According to video experts and and top Bin Laden experts, recent Bin Laden videos are fake.
So if Bin Laden is alive, American leaders have to explain why they have repeatedly chosen not to pull the trigger.
And if he is dead, they have to explain why they are claiming that he's alive and authenticating his videos.
Really interesting-bordering-on-prophetic-timing.. Nuclear hellstorm if Osama bin Laden is caught or killed: Al-Qaeda Dated April 25/Telegraphing the punch? Excerpts:
Al-Qaeda terrorists have threatened to unleash a "nuclear hellstorm" on the West if their leader and world's most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden is nabbed.
A senior al-Qaeda commander has claimed that the terror group has stashed away a nuclear bomb in Europe which will be detonated if bin Laden is ever caught or assassinated, according to new top secret files made public by internet whistleblower WikiLeaks.
..
The documents have been released to select European and US news outlets and reveal that the day 9/11 terror killings took place in United States, the core of al-Qaeda was concentrated in a single city of Karachi in Pakistan.
The War on Terror Is Over The Daily Beast. Excerpt:
Even before the U.S. killed bin Laden, the Arab Spring had already rendered him irrelevant. President Obama now has his best chance since taking office to acknowledge some simple, long-overdue truths. Terrorism does not represent the greatest threat to American security; debt does, and our anti-terror efforts are exacerbating the problem. We do not face, as we did in the 1930s, a totalitarian foe with global ideological appeal. We face competitors who, in varying ways, have imported aspects of our democratic capitalist ideology, and are beating us at our own game.
It's a ratings bonanza! Osama bin Laden’s death drives traffic spike
Akamai’s Net Usage Index for News, which monitors global news consumption, showed a peak of almost 120,000 page views per minute to news sites just before midday AEST.
It may correspond to ‘heavy’ traffic in Australia, but it was nothing compared to worldwide figures; some 4,118,000 pages were being viewed each minute as President Obama made his speech.
