Once they had some idea of the courier, the chase began as to where he and the other courier mentioned were and if they were still affiliated with OBL. Once they finally found them, they began tracing who owned their large property, who else lived there and then, what would be the best way to get that other person. What a tedious and mind-numbing amount of work had to have gone into finishing this puzzle piece by piece. Sounds like it all may have started with just that one little piece of information - a courier's nickname - years back. It will be interesting to see if that really is how the monster was found - a detainee who talked. |
KSM (the mastermind for 9/11 who is in Gitmo) gave up the intel 4 or 5 years ago when they used "enhanced interrogation" techniques against him in a foreign country. The intel he supplied was then followed, matched up, and lead them to this point. My question is now what are those people who scream about "enhanced interrogation" not delivering worthy intelligence going to say...looks like the water just got let out of their bath tubs.
