1. And THAT'S how much a badass Amanpour is.

Mentions it at least twice, one correcting Shandling!

I'd love to know who she heard that from.

PB

[notadmblnd]

5. But she said in Afghanistan, not Pakistan.

Not criticizing, just saying.

[BeliQueen]

8. That's not true

If you watch her lips she forms a "P" and says "Pakistan". Watch it again. It's hard to tell because they were talking over her--so annoying.

[notadmblnd]

10. My bad. I didn't hear the P and Christine uses very pronounce sounds when she speaks

[hulka38]

9. She said Pakistan, no question about it. n/t

[Enrique]

2. she had to have waterboarded someone for that info

i hear that's the only way we could have known. :sarcasm:

[CrispyQ]

12. A sad +1. --nt

[opihimoimoi]

3. She was right....LOL

[and-justice-for-all]

4. Did she really know..

or was it one of those "I think.." or "I believe that..."

[CTyankee]

7. Maybe a woman isn't allowed to know "What really is..."

just sayin'

[RainDog]

14. the woman who told Amanpour was highly placed in intel

...cherchez la femme

[and-justice-for-all]

22. "Maybe a woman isn't allowed to know "What really is..."

That is not what I meant at all, you make sound sexist and I was not being sexist.

[Gman]

6. If she knew, the CIA knew or suspected

kinda fits with the timeline that started in 09.

[BREMPRO]

11. fascinating.. fascinating... so many questions about this..

who was her source...
what did she do with this info?
did CIA interview her after this?
love to hear more from her about what she knew and how she found out...

[doc03]

13. John McCain knew were he was and how to get him three years

ago. :sarcasm:

[mackerel]

15. She knew but none of those guys

Shandling, Baldwin & Maher would listen.

[bvar22]

16. Shit...I said that on DU in 2002,

But I also got the country wrong.
I said that Osama was at one of his cousin's Luxury Palace in Saudi Arabia watching the whole USA Fuck Up on Big Screen TV and Laughing his ASS off.

[dflprincess]

17. And I maintained that he was in Rochester MN getting his kidney disease treated at the Mayo Clinic

A lot of Saudis go there and I figured no one would think of looking for him there.

18. Christiane reports this herself tonight and a little bit about the source

http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/05/osama-bin-laden-in-a-pakistan-villa-source-told-christiane-amanpour-in-2008.html

ABC News' Christiane Amanpour reports:

Osama bin Laden killed in a Pakistan villa, not in a cave? Who would have thought that?

Actually, that's what a U.S. intelligence officer who had recently left a top position told me about where bin Laden was living back in the fall of 2008.

Of all places, it came up in conversation a few days later when I made an appearance on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher." Fellow panelists, actor Alec Baldwin and comedian Gary Shandling, were ribbing me, but I got the information out anyway:

(emphasis mine)
