Pakistan Lets China View US Stealth Technology

Oswald McWeany writes "Tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan have moved up a notch in light of news that Pakistan allowed China to examine the downed stealth helicopter used in the operation to kill Osama bin Laden. Pakistan also provided Chinese intelligence with samples of the 'stealth skin.' 'Pakistan enjoys a close relationship with China, which is a major investor in telecommunications, ports and infrastructure in the country.'"

  1. 300 million dollar helicopter by assemblerex · · Score: 0, Troll

    Anyone else find it stupid we would spend so much on a helicopter? Only the U.S....

    The "copter" was such a setup. Look at the photos. A prop.

    Also supposedly, bin Laden had no radio or Internet communications - not even TV! But half of the early photos show a huge dish - later removed.

    There is nothing about that story that has any truth in it. They even "ditched" the body before any validation.

    Then the once trustworthy New Yorker publishes a "real narrative" of the mission - written by an intelligence operative, who's the son of a former CIA official.

    There is nothing here but lies. The only thing you can KNOW FOR SURE is that NONE of this is true.

      Yes. My mistake.

      The CIA earns its check by telling you the truth.

      Question: Do you believe the US to be a covert police state? If you answer "No", is this based on verified independent observation, historic reputation or emotional reaction?

      I submit that it IS a covert police state, operating extra-legally with regards to its foreign relations and its internal policy.

      Why not read something you might disagree with? Or is that "not the American way"?

      The US has the largest per-capita prisoner population in world history. You can say they broke the law. But what is "law" without the informed consent of the governed? Re-read the link, and ask if such a condition exists in the secret police state of America.

      Not exactly "home of the free" now, is it?

      Look. If he WERE there, and were the head and master strategist for a world-wide terror conspiracy, capable of striking the United States?

      He would be an incredible intelligence asset.

      Anyone in uniform who shot him, should be up for court-martial!

      Instead, you'd draw a surveillance noose around him - and get his confidence up. You'd keep him in the dark for years, while intercepting every communication.

      A child could figure that out. But the dumbest shits on earth - the US Public - believe fairy-stories about heroic Seal teams. They don't even know that this "Bin Laden" was once in CIA employ...
