[louslobbs]

the largest compound, don't know the address, but google earth shows it as a large compound of land and buildings. If you key in Abbottabad Pakistan, College Rd into google earth, I believe this is the area where the firefight took place. This is just a guess, but this looks like the area. Looks like he was living high on the hog in his final years.

3. Based on the reports of the size of the compound and speaking with a few friends from Pakistan, this

appears to be the area where Bin Laden,his son and others were killed.

4. Just that I recognized the name of something in a country/area

I know almost nothing about. I love Mortenson. The sequel to Three Cups of Tea, Stones Into Schools, which Mortenson wrote without the original co-author, was the BETTER book, I thought.

If I didn't have children and grand-children here in the USA, after reading those books, I'd have packed up and gone to teach where people want a teacher!

6. Some day we are going to read about the CIA's war with the ISSI 2008-2011

and how it finally led to the capture of bin Laden. This is the great un-said of what happened. You can't hide someone in a place like that without the full knowledge of the uncivilian part of the Pakistani government.

Thank you President Obama.
