Guess which newspaper does not have OBL on the front page?

As WUWT commenter “Andrew30” puts it, “the silence is telling”. The biggest story in the world today happens in their own backyard, and they don’t report it?

See for yourself at the Pakistan Daily Times: http://www.dailytimes.com.pk

So much for a “new voice for a new Pakistan” I suppose. Gaddafi’s NATO air strike seems to be OK though.

I wonder if the Hyatt Regency knows they are advertising on this site?

Here’s a great backstory on the whole thing:

UPDATE: about six hours after this was posted, a story finally showed up on the website. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk Maybe they are just slow, but there hardly seems to be a newsroom in the world that didn’t race to get this story up, arguably, one of the biggest in the last decade – Anthony

Not wanting to spoil the joy but what again was the evidence of Bin Laden’s responsibility for 09/11 ?
In 2004 PBS show MacNeil-Lherer aired a show with video footage of Bin Laden claiming responsibility for the 9-11 attacks and warning of more to come

Next year around about …. oh October, there will be a (false-flag op) “terrorist reprisal” – a dirty bomb somewhere in heartland US. Obama will say “This is an unprecedented emergency. I must, reluctantly, suspend the electoral process and take upon myself the burden of shepherding the country through this perilous period”. And hello Permanent Revolution.

I agree with Sunfighter. The ending of the Cuban crisis was indeed as he says.
Secret removal of US missiles from Turkey, back then.
Who wants Pakistan as an enemy? That would be a very,very bad situation for both the US and Pakistan. Nobody wants that.

AFTER THE REVIEW, CANCEL THE AID !
“The revelation that bin Laden had been holed up in a compound in the military garrison town of Abbottabad, possibly for years, prompted many U.S. lawmakers to demand a review of the billions of dollars in aid Washington gives to nuclear-armed Pakistan.”

Somebody needs to “pay” for this, but not out of the USA pocketbook please.
We’ll see how far this goes…

There are other newspapers in Pakistan.Dawn has good stories,and questioning journalists.They aren’t all bad.
http://www.dawn.com/2011/05/03/truth-will-out.html
We should be aware that Osama being run to ground in Abbottabad will heighten American suspicions of us, regardless of what we might say. We should also take very serious note of what American leaders are saying about us. While some people might be right in characterising congressman Dana Rohrabacher’s saying we have been playing the Americans for suckers as the view of just one conservative, we must recall Secretary Clinton saying: “I’m not saying that they’re at the highest levels, but I believe that somewhere in this government are people who know where Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda is, where Mullah Omar and the leadership of the Afghan Taliban is, and we expect more cooperation to help us bring to justice, capture or kill those who attacked us on 9/11.”
Truth will out, only this time it will bring great peril to us if we don’t shape up.

Dear Mr[or Miss, Ms, Mrs . . . you see how it happens? . . kb] Moderator
A number of posters above have used the term ‘Paki’. Certainly in the uk this is a racist and derogatory term. I know for sure this web site would not wish to be associated with such language. It may well be that the posters were unaware of this.

Good on ya, Anthony. You rose in my esteem. I was about to can you.

Yeah, some of them even belive there is a vast conspiracy to doctor the instrumental temperature record, and the ice-cores and sediment records, and the borehole and coral records, and the ice-cap and glacier records along with a century old (apparently) plot to ascribe physical properties to CO2 which would cause it to warm the climate as its level increases.

luxian, I am not downloading silly power point files off some site.
jo, you fail high school physics too? 911 Truth has nothing to do with Climategate, please don’t insult Steve McIntyre with your insanity and delusions. So you believe in lunatic conspiracy theories about JFK and the Moon Landings too?
All of the 911 Truther nonsense has been debunked ad nauseum,

“When everyone says the same thing you know someone is lying.”
“People live on the same planet.” That, fortunately or not, is all that you can say about people and their sameness.
Look back a thousand years or so. OK, the ‘history’ of the planet in the next thousand years or so is going to be very much the same bag of worms. Why? People, that’s why! People do things other people like and don’t like. If there’s enough people (in your neighborhood) who “like” something, that’s fine. If there’s enough people somewhere else who don’t “like” something then things can get pretty dicey if they can upset the balance elsewhere.

Standard Truther Rants, “Melt Steel, Free Fall, Building 7, Thermite, Controlled Demolition, Pull it, False Flag, Basic Physics…
Anyone who rants about any of the above as evidence of a 911 conspiracy theory automatically has an IQ below 52.

Gag from Australia’s Greenie Watch site: bin Laden was the cause of global warming. After all, everything else was.

Wouldn’t he be the result of global warming, just like everything else? Surely only CO2 causes GW. 😉

From our friends at Science
http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2011/05/geographers-had-calculated.html?ref=hp
It seems that some geographers did a statistical study to show where OBL was likely to be and came up with…Pakistan!
The crack journalists at our favorite magazine fawningly reported on it, but you’ve got to read the comments.
Ouch.

@MattN/Poptech, asking for evidence regarding OBL’s involvement in 09/11 does not make me a conspiracy nutter. Since western democracies (including the USA) consider themselves built upon principles of law, and in absence of legal/public proceedings in dealing with the guilt, death and burial of OBL , it is legitimate to ask the question: what is the actual evidence of his involvement apart from some youtube video presented on a TV-show (see above).

Actually, in a fit of irony, Pravda [‘truth’] on-line didn’t cover the death of OBL on Monday.
On Tuesday (late in the day…), their ONLY mention of OBL’s death is that it’s a fake event to cover up NATO’s killing of Kadaffy’s youngest son, and his three grandchildren (which I find regrettable).
Some things NEVER change…
