Did Pakistan turn over bin Laden?
Interesting thought from Tom Ricks:
What suspicious minds are asking: Why did the Pakistanis give him up? And what did we give in return?I also think this will strongly up the pressure on the Obama Administration to end its involvement in Afghanistan. Not just politicians but the man on the street is likely to say, Hey, we got him, mission accomplished, let's go home.
If Pakistan did indeed tip the U.S. off to bin Laden's whereabouts, did they do so as a way to ease the U.S. out of Afghanistan? It doesn't sound all that crazy...
