Much of the coverage of the 'story of the century' has focused on the idea that Bin Laden was found to be living comfortably in a mansion in Pakistan and had been there for perhaps six years. False, false, false and here's the simple evidence.
Bin Laden was found with $740 in Euros and two phone numbers SEWN INTO THE CLOTHING HE WAS WEARING.
There is nothing 'safe and secure' about living your life wearing a life preserver (so to speak).
If Bin Laden had felt even a little bit secure he wouldn't have been wearing an 'escape suit' around his own home and this one simple fact strongly suggests that he was not always in this same location, nor did he plan to stay there indefinitely.
We need to focus on this detail, not just to point out what an an amazingly complex operation this was, but just as importantly, to point out that Bin Laden certainly did not feel that the government of Pakistan was protecting him.
