Dossier on Osama Bin Laden needs an open debate







First, there seems to have been an error: The report was not published by the government, but by a foreign TV channel, Al Jazeera English. The Commission had said in the report, its conclusions must be that which was presented in the Prime Minister's Office, is in English and Urdu are published, and that this "national interest".
If you ever so much abused term with the right intention of the government in Pakistan was probably time. Unfortunately, the then government PPP and PML-N did not new. The only official response of the government was a comment by the minister of information leak investigation is underway guarded.
Ask the ISI Al Jazeera English seems to have done a favor to the Pakistanis. People can make their own conclusions about whether the military was complicit in hiding Osama, and how they have lived in Abbottabad, a garrison town, where there undetected for many years to come Pakistan Military Academy, with Headquarters.
To its credit, the report required tasks to various intelligence agencies, including the ISI, even in matters relating to the statements of the family members of Osama and two couriers.
For example, given the much-quoted statement by one of the women of the Messenger about your interaction with the female members of the family of Osama, suggesting that their presence in Abbottabad the connection only to a handful was known occupant, and wonders how the ISI this statement at face value, could have accepted.
Similarly, in the discussion, such as the presence of Osama in Abbottabad, Pakistan or elsewhere, was never recognized - suspicious activity not picked up by local authorities - the Commission is to your inquiries regarding the ISI and its affiliated agencies.
The best thing for the government of Nawaz Sharif, published the report in its entirety on your site. The government must understand that the U.S. attack was indicative of a total failure of intelligence - penetrated four U.S. helicopters in Pakistani airspace 160 km - and deep reforms are needed. This is best done with an open debate and discussion rather than hold out through the report secret.
The failure of the intelligence is on two levels - Stay undetected arrival of Osama and seemingly unnoticed Americans on 2 May 2011. U.S. helicopters landed in Kala Dhaka in a mountainous region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, not once, but twice before the U.S. Navy Seals in Abbottabad traveled deep. In fact, it says the Commission asked two locals, which he claimed was bound and kept under observation during the operation was in progress a few kilometers southeast of the Americans. The report has a healthy skepticism about what the ISI and other Intel employees have said about Osama and related topics.
The report will be used as a starting point for Pakistan's new parliament to discuss the issue of securing the country from foreign intrusion and improve intelligence. This should be to carry out far-reaching reforms, by an Act of Parliament, the security and intelligence apparatus.
