If you hide with a mass murderer, you only have yourself to blame if you get caught in the crossfire.

1. to be fair to her...
one wonders how much choice one has in marrying OBL, the Wahhabist hero.

3. Or how much choice she even had in being there in the first place.
I'm betting none.

4. Good point.
I wonder what would happen if she declined to marry him.

6. Eventually we will get to see the actual video and audio of the assault...
And I'm 150% certain one of two things happened.

#1: She actively resisted and used herself as a human shield. Perhaps even armed herself.

#2: The body guards grabbed her and used her as a human shield.

Regardless, I hope they got it all on video because either way Bin Laden would be shown to be hiding behind women.
