In the years it took to catch up with Osama bin Laden, there were several officers working behind the scenes to find him. The details about one leading analyst in particular, whose persistence paid off, are now coming to light.
Are you interested to know more, or is the fact that bin Laden was found and killed all you need to know?
After Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden, the White House released a photo of President Barack Obama and his Cabinet inside the Situation Room, watching the daring raid unfold. Hidden from view, standing just outside the frame of that now-famous photograph was a career CIA analyst...His job for nearly a decade was finding the al-Qaida leader.
The CIA will not permit him to speak with reporters. But interviews with former and current U.S. intelligence officials reveal a story of quiet persistence and continuity that led to the greatest counter-terrorism success in the history of the CIA.

+12Keep this guy anonymous or he will become a target for those thugs. We need to protect those who are fighting for us. Only a traitor would expose this guy.
Everyone who's responded so far seems to have *far* more faith and trust in "our" government than seems warranted. You remind me a lot of me, back before I started paying attention.
The CIA are not a bunch of super-patriotic Eagle Scouts who can do no wrong. They aren't a bunch of James Bonds, single-handedly rescuing the world from mega-villians.
They're more like a bunch of Cub Scouts without a den mother, set loose to party in a frat house.
Yes, their predecessors were probably a big factor in WW2. Yes, we probably need some sort of espionage group spying on the rest of the planet. No, the CIA isn't it.
It's very possible that they advertise their failures and keep their successes hidden just to keep people from realizing how much good they do. Or something ridiculous like that.
Do we, as a nation, really want to participate in the sorts of things we know they do?
Overthrowing popularly elected heads of state to replace them with brutal dictators who are more congenial to being our friends, for example. Probable drug smuggling, assassinations, money laundering, Mafia connections...
They deserve most of the credit for the Bay of Pigs. How much responsibility do they deserve for getting us mired in Vietnam? The faulty intelligence that has us ...

UBL was one of their operatives! They trained him to help win the Cold War for us. 9/11 *is* a perfect example of blow back. Finding him was not a success story: not knowing exactly where he was in the first place was one of the most epic intelligence failures in history.
Everyone's going on and on about how important it is for the government to keep its secrets in place.
You cannot have a popularly elected government that keeps these sorts of secrets. We don't need to know details, but we have to know what they're doing if we're going to have a clue which way to vote.
Absolutely not!
Let the Man continue to do the job that George W. Bush set him out to do..P.S...Thanks President Bush...without YOU ..OBL would still be breathing...shame on Obungler for trying to take credit...shame .
