Shaw Capital Management Financial News:Bin Laden Not Dead

July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Can you imagine the body of a globally wanted terrorist (Osama bin Laden, that is) being dumped into the sea soon after he’s done in by special forces? Me neither.
With no proof of his body and photos of the operation being held back from the public, it’s pretty natural that people would doubt the attack in Abbottabad really happened.
Though we must understand that it is done to avoid prompting retribution from fellow Muslims, skeptics like me would quickly find a ground to jump into. Yet another fodder for conspiracy buffs who are still stuck in the world of Illuminati and 76-year old Elvis, but who knows, maybe this time they’ve hit the right mark in arguing that Bin Laden is not yet dead. After all, the whole mission is all hushed up and the ‘body’ is quickly disposed of. Add to that the unbelievable time it took to execute the whole plan.

And now that they won’t even show photos of the terrorist’s body, it will only fuel more rumors.
According to reports, the elite group named SEAL Team 6 (whose existence is denied by the secret service agency itself) did Osama Bin Laden on May 1. Seal team 6, a special force reserved for high priority targets is as highly ‘classified’ as their missions.
I could imagine the anticipation the military team must have had on the way to Bin Laden’s compound. All those ten years of spying and toiling, they have come to this culmination where they’re going to bring down the most wanted terrorist in the world once and for all.
The team is ‘prepared’ alright; they have rehearsed the operation in a similar compound multiple times, in multiple ways. They know exactly what to do had the circumstances changed as they have contingency plans. On top of that, they have to move fast because they are on a foreign soil and the local forces might not welcome them warmly once alerted.
They might go down as the greatest unsung heroes of our time — if that operation did kill bin Laden, that is.
