The CIA Has Just Released Thousands of Files Captured From Osama bin Laden's Compound

Long War Journal: Analysis: CIA releases massive trove of Osama bin Laden’s files

The CIA is releasing hundreds of thousands of documents, images, and computer files recovered during the May 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The newly-available material provides invaluable insights into the terrorist organization that struck America on September 11, 2001.

FDD’s Long War Journal has advocated for the release of bin Laden’s secret cache since 2011, arguing that such transparency would help to better inform the American people, experts and policymakers. Today’s release goes a long way toward satisfying that goal. We applaud the CIA and Director Mike Pompeo for making this material available to the public.

Update #2: The CIA's official statement is here .... CIA Releases Nearly 470,000 Additional Files Recovered in May 2011 Raid on Usama Bin Ladin’s Compound (CIA)

Update #3: Wow .... there is a lot of detail on Iran working closely with Bin Laden. President Obama must have known about this .... and now knowing what I know now .... it bewilders me that he still pushed for a nuclear deal with Iran.

Update #4: These files should have been released two or

three years ago.
