How could they not have known? always "sounds" good after the crime but what's the real record about various authorities "knowing" where the criminal is or was, or even who it is.
Consider these criminals and who should have known what?
Theodore John "Ted" Kaczynski, the Unabomber a mail bombing spree that spanned nearly 20 years!
The Green River Killer - Gary Leon Ridgway murdered numerous women in Washington during the 1980s and 1990s.
David Parker Ray - the "toy box" killer tortured and killed his victims in New Mexico; 1950s-1999.
The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970's. The San Francisco Police Department marked the case "inactive", yet re-opened the case at some point prior to March 2007. No one caught.
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991.
Serial murderers and serial-murdering terrorists, often, it seems hide in plain sight, since no one expects a serial killer to live next door or to look like everyone else.
But reporters and politicians will continue saying some one should have known - someone should have been able to find them or - even better - should have known that they were going to do something horrible.
Osama bin Laden was found, is dead, and can kill no more.
Beating ourselves and allies up over how long it took to stop him does little good, as far as I can see.
Did Pakistan know bin Laden was ‘hiding in plain sight’?
The “Where’s Waldo?” aspect of the hunt for bin Laden — who turns out to have been living since 2005 just a few hours’ drive north of Islamabad — has worsened the mistrust between America and Pakistan. Pakistani anger over the unilateral U.S. attack is indicated by the fact that someone just “outed” the CIA station chief in Islamabad for the second time in a year.
