Seb, helicopters have been known to crash as a result of technical failure or pilot error  I think they wanted it to be a little more dramatic. I have never understood how military aircraft breakdown they are serviced to the hilt checked double checked and checked again |

Cynical  Don't you know watching Films is the only way your average American gets to understand that countries history........................well the version they believe is based upon historical fact! Perhaps hysterical is more appropriate............. Ah! S**t, maybe you're right after all! CWL  |

About the Bin Laden thing.....I think if I was "on holiday" in Abbottabad I would be asking everyone when looking at the local "sights" "Who lives in a house like that?!"   Of course I'm a bit naive in the styles of Pakistani housing! |

Apparently hed been living there for five to six years I also read it was only built a few years back too.Fourteen to eighteen people lived there. Biggest house in the neighbourhood. Reason for suspicion-no phone lines or internet access. But loads of information to be gleaned from his computers and communication with other Al Qaeda leaders  Yep-it all makes sense  |

Im still wondering about the other deceased.
We know it was Bin Ladins son how exactly?According to reports today it wasnt his youngest wife that died either.
We do know it was the courier apparently altho he hasnt as yet been named.
Im assuming there'll be no proof there either if the US is so concerned about following the Muslim tradition.
Into the sea as well was it?

Aye, I think a bit of photographic proof (however gruesome) or DNA or something would clear things up a bit. It would be in everybody's interest too. The full facts, and nothing but the facts!

Not unless they are now doing special deals for terrorist groups or American Special Forces! CWL  |

CWL I have a vision of Mr Bean....that advert where he's walking round with a burning roll of carpet on his shoulder......."Ah, the smell of Berber campfires!" Something to do with American Express Cards I think it was for? ;D ;D ;D ;D |
