OBL has been holed up in that place for a while. Living the good life, with his own nurses, dialysis machines, whatever. All provided by the ISI and the Pakistani military allies.
He's been on his way out for a few weeks, maybe months. Dying. Thus all the drama with that CIA guy who was caught killing people on the street, the way he got away, the whole "conflict" between Pakistan and the CIA.
They've been figuring out how to deal with this and how to use it for their own best interests.
My guess is that the Pakistanis have said "don't make it look like we were hiding him, because we don't want to take the heat for that" and the Americans have been working with them to work something out.
So now OBL died, they gave him his quiet little Muslim funeral, the trigger was pulled on the "operation" to go "kill" him, and it's all been worked out ahead of time as to how much heat the Pakistanis will take for this. They'll probably play clueless "we had no idea he was there!" and that sort of thing.
And yes, the whole "we got this info from one of those tortured detainees we have in our secret prison system" is part of the plot, as is "yes we spent trillions of dollars on this over the years to build this military constitution-crushing system, but look ITS WORTH IT".
No pictures, because they didn't shoot him. He died quietly under medical supervision.
This is pure conjecture.

1980. Miracle at Lake Placid. Beat the Russkies, beat the Finns.
That was hockey.
When Yanks kept doing it in LA was when it got to be too much. Not exactly the Internationale or the Marseillaise... more like a two-year-old banging his dish.

Or a complete fabrication.

That's what I was thinking.
And by the way, was it just me, or did you notice a lot of eye-rolling when the 'buried at sea' thing was raised today - and not from 'conspiracy types'?
Osama bin Laden’s Second Death
by Paul Craig Roberts
If today were April 1 and not May 2, we could dismiss as an April fool’s joke this morning’s headline that Osama bin Laden was killed in a firefight in Pakistan and quickly buried at sea. As it is, we must take it as more evidence that the US government has unlimited belief in the gullibility of Americans.

I haven't had a TV for a decade now, kenoma, so I've seen very little coverage. But the 'buried at sea' thing is symptomatic in its sheer grotesqueness. Like "Operation Iraqi Liberation" ("O.I.L."), it demonstrates the ruling class's' enthusiastic contempt for the peanut gallery (previously known as the citizenry). For the Masters of the Universe, plausibility is no longer a priority, much less a necessity.

The only people who aren't, it seems, are the real Obama-bots.
