The CIA organised a fake vaccination programme in the town where it believed Osama bin Laden was hiding in an elaborate attempt to obtain DNA from the fugitive al-Qaida leader's family, a Guardian investigation has found.

As part of extensive preparations for the raid that killed Bin Laden in May, CIA agents recruited a senior Pakistani doctor to organise the vaccine drive in Abbottabad, even starting the "project" in a poorer part of town to make it look more authentic, according to Pakistani and US officials and local residents.

The doctor, Shakil Afridi, has since been arrested by the Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) for co-operating with American intelligence agents.


wow...wonder what they have on Americans?

Of course this story only has relevance if you suppose the official story is actually true.

This could also be seen as an attempt to fill in the holes in the official story. ( re: dna )

So are we to assume OBL himself just strolled down to the clinic and was waiting in line to get stuck with the rest of the town?

no but to piece together his DNA from relatives in the area that participated in the program. Assuming that enough of them did.

I don't really give a damn about the web of lies surrounding the supposed assassination of bin laden. But I AM rather intrigued by the implications for government-operated immunization programs in THIS country.

That would only show that the body in question was a family member. (brother, cousin, uncle, son)
To prove it was OBL you would need a definitive sample of OBL's DNA.

But even that is in question.

The public just hears dna sample and most don't know anything about it, except that police often use it as evidence to tie someone to a crime.

More smoke and mirrors.

Like they did in Tuskegee.

The Tuskegee syphilis experiment[1] (also known as the Tuskegee syphilis study or Public Health Service syphilis study) was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in poor, rural black men who thought they were receiving free health care from the U.S. government.[1]

And some will still say that our government is not evil,, just stupid.


"I don't believe anything the government tells me"...?

A wise position to take.

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

It's just another subplot flaunting the assumption that the official story is true. Bullshit, that is meant to reinforce bullshit.
