With the recent death of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan there have been some questions about whether or not members of the Pakistan government knew about and were protecting Bin Laden. His compound was in Abbottabad, an army town only two and a half hour's drive outside the capital. The close vicinity of the compound to Abbottabad and the Pakistan capitol is what has caused people to question the Pakistan government, and has spurred the main opposition party to criticize the governing party with renewed vigor.
While I revel in the death of Bin Laden the proximity of his secret residence, which he lived in for over five years, to parts of the Pakistan government is unnerving. I don’t understand why the Pakistani government, in today’s day and age of intelligence, couldn’t find this million dollar compound just outside a city that was practically run by the government for military reasons. But I’m glad a new controversy hasn’t started over America’s unauthorized entry into Pakistan for this operation. I’m just happy we found and killed him, regardless if he was armed or not. He poses less of a problem and rallying point dead. I hope that we can find out just why the Pakistani government was unaware of his presence for so long.
