More Deets

A good Chicago Sun Times article on the raid that killed Bin Laden. Very good details.

Intelligence officials learned of the bin Laden compound in August thanks to one of bin Laden’s most trusted couriers.

The CIA had been hunting that courier for years, ever since terrorist detainees coughed up the courier’s nickname to interrogators and told them that he was so highly regarded that he might be living with bin Laden.

Sounds like smart, patient, intelligence work. I was beginning to worry about our capabilities. Also of note, it seems like we got the lead from the some of the guys we waterboarded. That detail won't work well with the narrative that torture doesn't work.
