Satellite images appear to reveal CIA’s secret bin Laden training ground
In the best-selling book “No Easy Day,” a retired Navy SEAL who was on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden revealed that training for the assault on the al-Qaida leader’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, took place in North Carolina. …
After putting in the coordinates in Google Maps for the Harvey Point Defense Testing facility, purportedly a CIA training ground, only a clearing in a field was seen.
On Bing Maps, however, Cryptome spotters, spied what looks like an uncompleted mockup of the bin Laden compound in Abbottabad.

My husband is ready the book right now. He agreed there are items in the book that shouldn’t be there. Too much information is not a good thing when dealing with terrorists and how we fight them.

About as significant as finding the ice berg that Titanic hit, or the gun shop that sold John Wilkes Booth the derringer.

Lemons to lemonade, people…let’s erect mock-ups of Chavez’s official residence or Achmadinajad’s Offices….

I wonder if there are any pictures of Obozo rappelling out of the chopper wearing his ninja uniform, sword drawn, throwing stars in the other hand, knife in his teeth, and about to pounce on Osama?
That’s the way it happened, so he must have trained there for it. Gotta be a few pictures around somewhere.

Isn’t the “I” supposed to stand for intelligence? Bing!

On a related note; anyone see ABC’s Brian Ross report on how we tracked down that terrorist in Yemen by implanting a tracking device in a flash drive so we could launch a missile at him? Nothing like telling the enemy how you do things. Amazing what the media will disclose and feel good about it.
