As it turns out, Bribery does work

Bribery Got Bin Laden - The Dish

Forget the cover story of waterboarding-leads-to-courier-leads-to bin Laden...Sources in the intelligence community tell me that after years of trying and one bureaucratically insane near-miss in Yemen, the US government killed OBL because a Pakistani intelligence officer came forward to collect the approximately $25 million reward from the State Department's Rewards for Justice program.

Turns out that it wasn't torture that lead to Bin Laden, it was bribery. Someone within Pakistani intelligence stepped forward to collect the $25 million bounty of OBL's head. Of course I doubt this bit of fact will ever penetrate the wall of lies the right-wing so skillfully hides behind. But politics aside, the bigger point however is that if it was indeed a Pakistani intelligence officer that told us of OBL's whereabouts it confirms what many of us have already suspected. That high-level members of the Pakistani Government knew Bin Laden was there and were protecting him. It's no longer an issue of "did they know?" as much as it is "how much did they know?"
