Osama Bin Laden Killed in Pakistan

In the non-fiction book 'Hunting Bin Laden' author Rob Shyltheis describes the most likely hideout of the designer of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States as a compound in the northeast mountains of Pakistan. The compound is described in detail. The terrorist was killed Sunday. U.S. reliance on fossil fuels continues special vulnerability to global terror on the U.S. economy.

Osama Bin Laden may have lived in Pakistan with the protection of Pakistani intelligence. Evidently Osama Bin Laden was located at a reasonable facsimile of the compound of literary note in Abadabad Pakistan. U.S. intelligence is said to have followed up a lead from August 2010 (did they read the book 'Hunting Bin Laden' published in 2008 or 2009?) that led to an an assault by a few Americans Sunday-reportedly a Navy Seal team The U.S. Government buried Bin Laden's body at sea after sampling the D.N.A. for confirmation. Such a quick disposal will leave room for some to wonder if, as in the absence of Hitler's body for public review, if he really was killed.

It would have been more satisfactory if Os had been captured with a high tech area knock out method and returned for interrogation. When Lee Oswald was killed quickly by Jack Ruby and unavailable for debriefing, it closed off a lot of leads and left many unanswered questions.

A decade has been spent chasing Os Bin Laden at very high opportunity cost to domestic U.S. development enriching a world of global corporate contractors. Os Bin Laden was finally killed as if on schedule as the U.S. is slated to pull out military forces from Iraq this year and supposed to withdraw forces from Afghanistan by 2014 while a new kinetic military action has begun in Libya creating more work and cash transfers to the military-industrial complex.

This is not rocket science or the deployment of more advanced space propulsion systems. More efficeint, lower cost methods of defending U.S. physical and economic property and civil rights need to be developed alternative to large scale conventional deployment of troops to hunt for global guerrilla spook terrorists, their leaders and broadcast cohorts.

Perhaps the government can plan for withdrawal and reduction of taxable military investments abroad until a future time when kinetic military action is required for proximal defense or preemptive defense against continua of attack. Creating steady-state, green, renewable economic infrastructure in second and third world countries is a better investment than dumping military aid and non-renewable, unsustainable neo-classic economic assistance to upper classes abroad.
