Evidence indicates bin Laden 'fully engaged' in plotting attacks

Evidence retrieved from Osama bin Laden's compound shows that he was fully engaged in plotting terrorism attacks around the world. NBC's Robert Windrem reports.

By Robert Windrem, NBC News investigative producer for special projects

"Every morning, he woke up and tried to come up ideas to attack the homeland that he could communicate with subordinates."

 That's how a U.S. intelligence official described Osama bin Laden's daily life at the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan,  based on a continuing review of the materials found on computers, hard drives and thumb drives retrieved by the U.S. assault force.

"He was not retired or isolated. It was beyond inspiration, beyond direction", said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The preliminary read of the data flies in the face of the long-held belief that bin Laden had ceased to be operational leader of the terrorist group, the official acknowledged. 

"He was fully engaged to carry out other 9-11 attacks," the official added. "He had a reputation as a micromanager but what we found was he was able to balance that micromanagement with a realization that others would have to carry out the operations."

Beyond threat information, the official said the U.S. had found other information that confirms bin Laden's identity, unspecified video and details of plots around the world and associates.  The official said the U.S. would not release details of the plots because they don't want others to try to replicate them.

I was happy that we got Osama bin Laden when I thought that he was not that important within his terror group anymore. Now that we have had some time to interpret some of the data our Navy SEALs obtained during their commando raid on his compound and it is learned that he was still very active in planning harm to innocent civilians I am all the more happier that we killed the SOB!!!

Agreed. Although a micromanager, he realized others had to carry out the attacks? In other words, he dreamed them up, they blew themselves up!!

ADD IT UP FOLKS WE BEEN HAD!

Millions and Millions of dollars spent, hundreds of Federal Employees sending the bills for Intelligence work claiming "We are getting close". The fact is he was sitting around in retirement surfing the Internet for 6 years while eating dates. The CIA sat down the street in a rented house watching him for months and didn't know who it was walking around the compound. All of our spy satellites and Super Technology was useless.

Then we rush in and "kill" the best intelligence asset since breaking the Japanese Code in World War Two. We leave a Billion Dollar asset behind (Stealth Technology)and bring out a dead body. When watching 24 men with Night vision Video cameras televising "Real" time the entire operation our President, even after numerous reviews can't get the story straight. Why, because there are witnesses who were there and the Paky's have them. They are telling the truth and the President can't find out what they are saying. So here is what actually happened.

We were watching the compound for months, but we couldn't attack it for two reasons. YOU can't bomb and kill civilians in a non-combatant country. You can only slaughter them in countries we claim to be at war with and we have. You can't talk to the Pakys even though we bribe them with 3 Billion of "Off to a Swiss Bank" dollars. Now common sense tells you that we did not intend to kill him because even I could make a 1000 yard shot with a Barret 50 and killed the 6' 4" man walking in the vegetable garden. We wanted him alive folks, not dead.

24 heavily armed men descended into the complex which contained 17 people, mostly men , woman and children. They were not readily armed. Now we have at least one shot fired by a currier in a guest house. This is convenient but doubtful. The 24 men took up defensive positions and some rushed up the stairs and around barricades. Obama's son came at them (allegedly unarmed) and they shot him. This to is on video. Remember that most of our Team Six Seals can speak basic Arabic. That too is on the tape. They somehow kill two more men and wound Obama's wife when in his bedroom. Dianne Feinstein states that there were weapons stacked against an adjacent wall. There were not. The Seals in the room shot Bin Ladin and carried him out. The same task they would have had to accomplish if they had knocked him down and knocked him out. 24 Seals couldn't take a 71 year old very ill man alive?

Now the story has been twiddled down to what the evidence will show and the witnesses have reported. We lost the most knowledgeable Intelligence Loaded asset in modern history to a Navy Seal who killed the asset on the spot. What an accomplishment to bring him back to justice alive. There was no reason or necessity to kill him, or was there.

Video tapes of visits to Bin Laden after 9/11 by influential Saudi's that were "Zoomed In On" by Arab speaking lip readers confirm that Bin Laden was asked to accept 9/11 as a propaganda gift to his cause and a way to enhance his prominence worldwide instead of just in Afghanistan. He accepts the gift and takes full credit even though he keeps asking what targets were hit, how they were hit and who the attackers were. Strange questions for the guy who planned and directed the attack, but a guy who readily accepted credit from Saudi's trying to get the blood off their hands and wipe it on a Looney Toon who didn't care in his cave. Slick move. Anyone who hates us and is dying anyway would have done that.

Since 9/11 when all the boys were flying around in Air Force One trying to find a place to hide Chaney came up with a Master Plan. If we use this and let Bin Laden take credit we can scare the American people to death. We can use the fear to do whatever we want. Billions for a new organization "Homeland Security" . We can put into place the "Patriot Act" and erase the 4th Amendment and spy on our Political enemies without supervised warrants. We can move forward and attack Iraq and Afghanistan and we can do it while our citizens are hiding in their houses watching CNN "Red" "Yellow" and "Green" Alquada Attack Warnings. Remember what Hitler said "Never tell little lies, you'll get caught. Tell the huge lie and no one will believe that a Government Leader would do such a thing“. We have been conned and fleeced. Homeland Security has failed an audit which shows they have no idea where 100 billion dollars of their budget disappeared. The last guy to run Homeland Security gave the contract to develop, staff and use the new TSA Airport Equipment to a company that he then acquired the majority stock in a few days after he retired. The contract was worth Billions. He's worth Billions overnight and he was just an ex Federal Prosecutor a few years before.

The key to 9/11 is looking right at you. Israel, it's brutal conduct toward the Palestinians and our undying support of their atrocities finally aroused the insanity of 18 men . 17 Saudis and one Egyptian financed by Saudi Money committed the act to teach us a lesson knowing that their oil would protect them. If Bin Laden was really believed to have directed it would Bush ,within days, see to it that Bin Laden's whole family was securely flown out to Saudi Arabia with a refusal to allow us to interrogate them???????

9/11 was a tragedy for us and a fantastic opportunity to wage war and make billions. Had Bin Laden been taken alive the American people would have demanded a televised trial and we would have found out his minuscule participation from a cave, while being hunted and without anything but a currier on Mule back taking months to communicate with anyone. Did 9/11 appear to you to be done by mule riders?

Untill we make them (islamic extremists) fear our retribution more than their desire for murder they will continue to plot and kill. Only way we will make them fear what they are plotting to do is if they know that their entire families will be wiped out unless they stop. Once they stop I say live and let live.

Renee,

When I heard Bush talk about bin Laden that was, I always translated it to be "we have no idea where he is and we're not close to getting him...so I'll try to minimize the issue and get people to focus on this other thing we did instead". I don't think he ever stopped focusing on bin Laden behind the scenes.

PS: I'm not a Bush fan...I disliked 90% of what he did as president.

What on earth are you thinking... bringing a mass terrorist back to our country for trial! So in other words "We the People" need to pay our hard earned tax dollars to keep this sob fed, roofed & given a fair trial! Are you out of your minds! How many of our innocent soldiers, civilians, firemen & policemen do we have to sacrifice in order to get justice. He deserved what he got and if God didn't want it to happen then he'd still be alive, but now it's time for Osama to be judged by a greater power than us all. Let the judgement begin!

A madman with only one, singular, obsessive purpose to the exclusion of all else. It was his reason for living. Ultimately it was also his reason for dying. I feel as if the world was cleansed when bin Laden died.

JIM STASSY: "We wanted him alive"

Do you honestly think bin laden would have talked or let us know anything about what he and his henchmen were planning? Think about it - the guy is head of the worst terrorist organization in the world. I'm sure he's glad he was shot and killed rather than have to go through interrogation.

I doubt Obama would've gone to the length's Bush did, so we'd get even less info if anything at all. Don't misunderstand me here... I hate Bush, but during a war, I have to say the only way to really get any intel is to go a little farther than just 'talking' to your prisoner.

I don't agree with everything he allowed, and I'm positive Bush knew everything they were doing to their prisoners in Cuba - but you can't just chat with someone and expect to get any useful or correct intel. It just doesn't work that way.

Anyway, dude, tell me, how do YOU know what happened that night? Unless you admit to being to being one of the guys who were there that night... Are you? If not, where did you get your info from? A friend you knew who was there? No?? Well, then shut up.

      Renee, read "soldiersdaughter" post. Do you really want to spend YOUR tax dollars housing this SOB, if in fact he was still alive?

      Get real - as I said above in my first post, he wouldn't have given us any intel. I'm sure Cheney could've been the one standing over him water-boarding or whatever else they did to the detainees in Cuba, bin laden would have rather died than give us any info.

      How do I know that? Because I used to be a soldier myself - served during the first Gulf War, and if I had ever been a POW, you're taught that no matter what, you keep your mouth SHUT - whether or not you know anything, which most likely you don't anyway. I can't say that's easy to do, but for someone like bin laden, I'm sure it would've come easily to him to be tortured and yet still not say a word.

        Here is how our Commander in Chief made his heroic decision: If I authorize this operation and it fails, I'll be toast. If I don't authorize this operation with all of the intelligence I have received and people find out, I'll be burnt toast. Hemmm--I think I'll go for toast. Not much of an heroic decision at all was it? Most of the intricate work was set in place by the last administration and the brave individuals that took part in the actual raid. Please give credit where credit is due. I know it is election time, but don't toot your own horn to long.

          "Every morning, he woke up and tried to come up ideas to attack the homeland that he could communicate with subordinates."

          Now that's so strange. With his family's cash, Osama could have woke up and tried on different suits at the mall. Or, taken a great vacation. Or, taken up painting as a hobby. Or, opened shelters for the sick and homeless. One could go on.

          But to waste one's life looking for ways to hurt other people? Honestly. Mr. Bin Laden was seriously in need of a life.....a real life.

              He was of tremendous, symbolic importance. The fact that after nearly 10 years, he was still alive, free, and sending us yearly holiday messages, was an affront to our image and a continuous inspiration to our enemies.

              Now, he's dead, and maybe the world is not all that different because of it, but the texture of the landscape has changed.

              Also, it gives a clear and rational reason to disengage from Afghanistan. We've now achieved our minimum goals, the ouster of the Taliban, and the death or capture of our chief foe.

              Only 10 years. But hey, we spent 6 of those years dicking around in Iraq. Why? I dunno.

                I guess we should be thankful that President Obama ordered a new Intelligence Plan to track and locate Osama bin Laden be put in place within the first month of his being in office. Too bad we shut down that Osama bin Laden task force years earlier and had to reestablish it.

                  According to the investigation report of 9/11, all potential attackers have been personally interviewed by bin Laden before the final approval for the mission.

                            He left a will. Is there more than one? Would it not be conceivable to have a plan to be enacted upon his death or is that to far fetched a possibilty? Perhaps not in 2001 but how about death in 2002 and beyond all the way to 2011. Lots and lots of time for enabling something like that. Then again he didn't want his children to follow jihad so maybe he was not motivated for such a scenario.

                                I agree with you about the "decent burial", and it is a huge injustice (I don't know the right word here) that we have to pussyfoot around the extremists - however, reality is reality. There are still some radicals out there trying to take out that Danish man over a CARTOON! They wanted a white woman in one of the countries over there beheaded (and showed up with machetes) because she allowed the students in her class to name the teddy bear "Muhammed". I can't imagine what they are up to after this. So, I know they are mad anyway, but I don't believe in giving an already rabid dog steroids.. do you see what I mean? I agree with you, believe me, I do, but I feel like we are between a rock and a hard place. Besides, I refuse to forget the Muslims in this country who have defended this country and the ones who died on 9/11. The extremists don't like them either and consider them traitors.

                                    The reason you put someone like bin Laden on the back burner is to NOT do so is tunnel vision. You need to keep an eye on the picture around you, catch the active terrorists, and try to stop any new terror plots. If a man murders his wife, yes they still look for him, but he is not the focus exclusively.I If need be, they put him on a back burner until new information comes to light. There are still other threats out there besides this one man. They cannot spend all their resources on one person. It was the same with Osama bin Laden. Obviously Pakistan was not aiding the US, we were following false leads that kept the troops from looking in the right places. If we had ONLY been looking for bin Laden, there is no telling how many other 9/11 type attacks would have succeeded. After many years of trusting our "allies" the Pakistanis, the US finally got wise and realized they were not helping, but hindering. If Obama and the CIA had not finally figured this out, we would never have got bin Laden.

                                        If he had only lived to see Muslim democracies bloom all over the world?

                                        The world waits for Muslim countries to reject violence and miltary strong men.

                                        The world is waiting to greet the new democracies.

                                          The official said the U.S. would not release details of the plots because they don't want others to try to replicate them.

                                          Not releasing info for security reasons? You mean we're not going to be presented with computer animated scenarios of "how they would have done it" media frenzy hysteria pieces? We should be outraged!!! This is a violation of our right to know and second guess everything!!

                                                  Terrorists don't retire. They just fade from public view. To think Bin Laden was inactive was foolishness. To think Dick Cheney isn't trying to figure out a way to get us into another war for Halliburton profits is foolishness. Tigers don't become goats. EVER.

                                                      Bin Laden was the mastermind for the attack on our United States 9-11. That is all anyone needs to remember.

                                                      When we tally lives lost? Count all lost on 9-11 - both in the towers and responders and those responders to die from side effects of the clean up. Count those family members who no longer set a place for the loved one at family dinner - the boy who looks to the grandstand when he hits a ball only to be reminded of the empty bench seat - the girl who will not see the smile on her mothers face as she tries on her first prom dress - family members who have been left with 'what if' and will never have an answer. Count all military personal lost in Iraq and Afghanistan - the families changed forever. Count all civilians lost i.e. Nick Burg and special ops security, contract people - their families. I don't celebrate but I sure as heck reflect.

The Bush Admin chose Osama, a former CIA asset, as a patsy knowing he was going to die. Osama had nothing to do with 9/11, it was a false flag operation by those in the Bush Administration. All the evidence of the Cheney stand down order is there, and the buildings obviously blown up and demolished confirmed by Architects for 911 Truth.

                                                                  If you still choose to believe the fiction these propaganda media people put out, there's no hope for you. the truth is out there, if you don't begin to wake up they are going to kill us all in their crazy plan for world wars.

Lead terrorist hunter who worked for five US Presidents Dr. Steve Pieczenik recently came out on the Alex Jones Show saying they're all lying to us. Osama Bin Laden is documented to have died in 2001 from a genetic disease. He was diagnosed in the 1990's as only having 5 years to live which is why they used him as a patsy for their false flag 9/11.

                                                                              We now know all these people lying to the American people are absolutely 100% liars testing the waters for their next false flag attack to justify more war, likely an attack on Pakistan. We can all observe now how their slick propaganda machine works and stops for no one. They have actors and actresses on the major networks spewing forth absolute lies to the American people.

                                                                              This is such a scam, criminals are running our country, sociopaths are at the helm! Our lives are all in danger, they want another false flag attack and are testing the waters to place the blame on more terrorists.

We befreind them, and then when it is convient for us, we turn them into boogie-men, a threat, an enemy. Did you know that we armed them both (Osama & Sadam) in the past? Yes, we armed them to "terrorize" others on our behalf. And look at all the joy now that Osama is dead. What is there to be joyous about thou foolish brethren!? For we (our beloved govt) will create another enemy, another boogie man and will perpetuate this fear that controls us all....we live in a country of fools and hypocrites...only a govt with ignorant and radicalized ill informed masses can get away with this.........

                                                                                            Yes, it is ironic but, sorry about your backward assumptions... We didn't 'create an enemy' but rather our govt has always befriended countries and individuals who temporarily serve our purposes... freedom and justice be damned. Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden were always murderous, but they were the 'enemy of our enemy' (Iran and USSR respectively). Right now, Pakistan is entirely untrustworthy, but many in their govt want to fight Al Qaeda, and they have nuclear weapons, so we have to engage them as 'friends' because it serves our interests. It's not about morality, but strategy.
