How the US tracked couriers to elaborate bin Laden compound
2011-05-02
First a name, then an extraordinary house with high walls — and no telephone or Internet. Bin Laden and a son are among five killed in a firefight.
Video from MS-NBC, no less. Apparently some of the Gitmo detainees provided key information that identified a courier. Once our intel people knew who the courier was they could track him, and once they saw where he was going with some frequency they had a lead on Binnie.

Excellent work. Proves the value of Gitmo. Good thing we didn't close it.

#1  See also FREEREPUBLIC/TOPIX > WIKILEAKS: OBL KILLED AFTER [courier] TIPOFF FROM HIS DEPUTY.

Actually - DEPUTIES [plural], i.e. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed + Other, likely after so-called "Water-boarding"???

IMO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE - KSM is a close top associate to OBL. From what I remember as per their interaction + relationship, unlesss something had seriously changed in my absence I do not believe KSM would wilfully snitch on Osama unless he was forced to, i.e. KSM was subjected to heavy or excessive torture.
