Thread: "Murder" of Osama bin Laden

You had me going for a minute until I did a little research. It looks like it was a simple mistake that they didn't bother editing out. She is discussing Brig. (retd.) Ijaz Shah , D.G. I.B who is the man that Omer Sheikh surrendered to. Omer Sheikh is the one who "murdered Osama bin Laden" but he actually murdered others FOR Osama bin Laden, people such as Daniel Pearl. It is even more obviously a mistake if you take the time to read the transcript of a CNN interview released the next day where she discusses Osama bin Laden being in the Tribal areas of Pakistan.

WHITFIELD: So, Ms. Bhutto, am I hearing you correctly in saying that you almost directly blame General Pervez Musharraf for helping to produce these safe havens in Pakistan, where there is terrorist activity, where, perhaps, in these safe havens someone like the Osama bin Laden, the most-wanted terrorist in the world, just might be taking refuge?

BHUTTO: I wouldn't like to go so far as to blame General Musharraf directly, but I would certainly say that many people in his administration and his security apparatus responsible for internal security make me feel very uneasy. And I believe that tribal areas of Pakistan could not have become safe havens without collusion of some of the elements in the present administration. And this is why I believe that regime change is very important.

I had hoped --

WHITFIELD: Do you Musharraf -- I'm sorry. Do you think General Musharraf knows where Osama bin Laden is?

BHUTTO: I don't think General Musharraf personally knows where Osama bin Laden is, but I do feel that people around him are many who are associated with the earlier military dictatorship of the '80s. That military dictatorship formed the Iran Mujahideen. The Mujahideen subsequently became Al Qaeda and Taliban. So I believe that break has not been made between the supporters and sympathizers of the Mujahideen and thereby, of the Taliban and Al Qaeda that is necessary. We need an administration and a security apparatus that does not have people with links to the Iran Jihad of the '80s.

Alright so let me get this straight, is nin laden dead or not, reading all this stuff is making my head go in circles.lol

Okay, that makes sense. I would have looked further in to it, if I had more time on my hands. A couple of friends of mine had showed me the video, and I'm thinking to myself, "This can't be right." I don't know whether to be worried or be dissapointed, LOL.

OK, so this is a case of missunderstanding information and not a debatable subject... I will close the thread then...
