Great exploration and photos. Your evidence seems to be quite anecdotal and I don't think it is enough basis for the conclusions, but questioning the official line is quite healthy and there may always be some doubt in peoples' minds about what really happened. Loved the story and photos also. Very nice job.

Thanks! I think the whole affair is anecdotal.
"Though the Abbottabad raid has been described in great detail by U.S. officials, no physical evidence constituting "proof of death" has been offered to the public, neither to journalists nor to independent third parties who have requested this information through the Freedom of Information Act. Numerous organizations filed FOIA requests seeking at least a partial release of photographs, videos, and/or DNA test results, including The Associated Press, Reuters, CBS News, Judicial Watch, Politico, Fox News, Citizens United, and NPR."
I believe the local people. The neighbourhood is like a middle/upper class suburb. A lot of good people there. It's not a big place, and just based on that it seems very unlikely that an Arab family moved in unnoticed. There is only one road in and out.
Yes, I understand that. They didn't release much info. It's not impossible that someone could have stayed mostly indoors and within the compound, though, especially if he was in ill health. And the local people may feel ashamed in some way if that were true, so they might prefer to stick to their own story. It was clear that someone was being kept there. Hiding in "plain sight" (an affluent suburb) could have been a great way to foil all those searches in the remote mountain areas.
That's just a different viewpoint, but I have no opinion on it myself as there isn't enough evidence on either side for me to judge. I enjoyed your post, which was one of the best ones I have seen in a while, and hope you keep writing on Steemit.
Thank you! 😊
I am very good friends with many of the locals, and have background in working in News and Media. I have researched this subject quite extensively and believe the local accounts, I trust my friends and the local story does not contradict any of the factual information (of which there is very little) regarding this case.
But who knows... 🐒
The older I get, the less I understand. I wasn't there. I didn't see it happen on video. There might be other pizza joints in town. I'm not smart enough to know what really happened and so I file it away in that compartment in my brain where I keep things that I don't truly understand. Some may not be comfortable with that, but it works for me.
