I've always felt that explanation was hogwash. The real question people need to ask is, "At what point did Osama Bin Laden stop being a CIA asset?" We know Bin laden was a CIA asset during the Russia/Afghan war. He was useful to the US for quite some time.
If you look at where Bin Laden was 'killed', it was at a safe house that abutted the Pakistan's equivalent to West Point, where Pakistani intelligence officers are trained. That would be like El Chapo hiding out next to West Point.
My guess is that the US Military chose the location because it made it easier to coordinate with the Pakistanis because it was basically on their porch--a controlled environment. No body of Bin Laden was ever produced. He was killed at the most convenient time for Obama, to boost O's popularity.
Exactly, once a CIA asset, always a CIA asset, just like CIA agents who claim they are retired. No, they are still working for the CIA--look at Evan McMullin, who ran for president against Trump. It was so obvious the "former" CIA officer was still under the employ of the CIA during the election and actively working against Trump.

Wat do you mean "stopped"?
