Former top Afghan spy on Pakistan, bin Laden
The news that Osama bin Laden had been hiding in plain sight in a Pakistani military town surprised many Americans, but it came as no surprise to the man you'll hear from. His name is Amrullah Saleh and four years ago he told Pakistan's president that bin Laden was living in that very area.
At the time, Saleh was at the height of his power as Afghanistan's top spy, their chief of intelligence. No one worked more closely with the U.S. in the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban. He is also one of Pakistan's fiercest critics and long before bin Laden's death, behind closed doors, he was urging the U.S. to pay attention to the intelligence he was gathering on Pakistan's covert support for America's enemies.
For those whose memory has been short-circuited, Saleh was at the height of his power during the Bush administration. He gathered intelligence on the whereabouts of Bin Laden and shared with the American. Since Bush was the Commander-In-Chief, he could have ordered military action (as Obama did), but he did not! Intelligence was gathered, but the Commander-in-Chief Bush didn't give the ok.
