I would have thought that the CIA were able to watch Bin Laden for monthsrather than "16 Hours" (less than one day) suggests information gathering on who Bin Laden was communicating with. That time I would have thought beats a few hours of waterboarding any day of a minor official.

In the end.. a decision over how much longer to watch and when to kill is something to think about. He wasn't exactly going to escape.. unless it is implied that the CIA are that rubbish they can't keep track of one man who doesn't leave one room.

I had not heard anyone talking about this.... but I was wondering the same thing? At this point.... what is the harm in more surveillance?

Czuch: It was in one the attached articles to the main story of the killing on the BBC news site. From August in 2010 they "concluded it was being used to shelter a 'high-value target', perhaps even Bin Laden."

From what I have read, there was only a high percentage chance it was Bin Laden and of the three proposals it was decided to send troops in as at least then they could identify who was there.

I think in the end it was a case of find out if is... if not.. look elsewhere. That might explain why non lethal weaponry was not engaged at the time of capture.
