former chief of Mossad doesn't seem to like Romney very much - some snippets:
"Negotiating with Iran is perceived as a sign of beginning to forsake Israel. That is where I think the basic difference is between Romney and Obama. What Romney is doing is mortally destroying any chance of a resolution without war. Therefore when [he recently] said, he doesn’t think there should be a war with Iran, this does not ring true. It is not consistent with other things he has said. […]"
and
“Obama does think there is still room for negotiations,” Halevy said. “It’s a very courageous thing to say in this atmosphere. In the end, this is what I think: Making foreign policy on Iran a serious issue in the US elections — what Romney has done, in itself — is a heavy blow to the ultimate interests of the United States and Israel.”
"...Any notion that some portion of Pakistan's military and security institutions did not know of UBL's long term presence in the suburbs of Islamabad is just silly. Abbotabad is the home of Pakistan's West Point. Many retired officers live in the town. We are to believe that the Pakistan equivalent of the FBI did not take an interest in this big compound with no telecommunications connectivity? We are supposed to believe that? ... "

"There is more to this story, lots more…"
which is why the people in this "soon to be tv movie" have lawyered up with high-powered attorneys.

Col Pat Lang (http://turcopolier.typepad.com/about.html) has the same conclusion about Pakistan knowing about this operation:
"...Any notion that some portion of Pakistan's military and security institutions did not know of UBL's long term presence in the suburbs of Islamabad is just silly. Abbotabad is the home of Pakistan's West Point. Many retired officers live in the town.
