Secret move keeps bin Laden records out of sight

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's top special operations commander ordered military files about the Navy SEAL raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout to be purged from Defense Department computers and sent to the CIA, where they could be more easily shielded from ever being made public.

The secret move, described briefly in a draft report by the Pentagon's inspector general, set off no alarms within the Obama administration even though it appears to have sidestepped federal rules and perhaps also the Freedom of Information Act.

 

An acknowledgement by Adm. William McRaven of his actions was quietly removed from the final version of an inspector general's report published weeks ago. A spokesman for the admiral declined to comment. The CIA, noting that the bin Laden mission was overseen by then-CIA Director Leon Panetta before he became defense secretary, said that the SEALs were effectively assigned to work temporarily for the CIA, which has presidential authority to conduct covert operations.

 

"Documents related to the raid were handled in a manner consistent with the fact that the operation was conducted under the direction of the CIA director," agency spokesman Preston Golson said in an emailed statement. "Records of a CIA operation such as the (bin Laden) raid, which were created during the conduct of the operation by persons acting under the authority of the CIA Director, are CIA records."

I've always been a bit wary of the actions on the part of the DoD, the Pentagon, White House and the CIA on this issue.

 

 

Many well known intelligence analysts and former heads of state, had claimed for years years before 2011, in the 90's that bin Laden was dead.

 

On top of that, It was believed that bin Laden suffered from kidney disease. Remember the former President of Pakistan General Pervez Musharraf? In in January 2002 he stated that he thought the Al Qaeda leader had died of the disease. As a result. after review of video footage of sickly bin Laden released in 2001, to quote, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta observed that his “frosting of the appearance is something that people a lot of times associate with chronic kidney failure, renal failure, certainly someone who is requiring dialysis would have that."

 

So did that Navy SEAL team really kill Bin Laden on May 3rd 2011? It leaves plenty of questions considering the actions of the security agencies in the past such as the CIA as well as, the proof that the government is using false propaganda in the media to spread lies about 9/11. Critical thinker speaking here and not just a conspiracy theorist because I know that critical thinking is vital to being in the real know on American politics and how it relates to involvement in world affairs.

 

So in short I always believed that something is being hidden here, and NOT for the benefit of the American public supposedly governed under a democratic republic.

 

Says realizm, a proud American but critical of his own government like many citizens of other nations around the world that can read between the lines, for real.

I'm going to go out and say the killing of bin Laden was likely an event that as purposely staged to at least some extent. To say it wasn't government infiltrated propaganda would be a major defiance of common sense. Proven evidence shows it's happened before (Operations Mocking Bird and Northwoods come to mind) and it will happen again.

 

In conclusion, without a doubt something's up.

It makes you wonder who's really running the show here.
