This video was most likely shot after they'd left. The last thing they did was blow up the helicopter. Those two people could have been Pakistani civilians. Also, they left behind the women and children for the Pakistanis to deal with; the two men could have been part of a group that went into the compound to take them out and get the injured ones medical attention. Plus which, it still isn't clear to me that the video was shot from inside the compound. If you're worried about how the two men got in, what about the cameraperson shooting the video? In any case, there are now photos showing that the helicopter came down right on top of a wall and broke apart, with the tail inside and the rest outside the compound, so the fire was probably outside the wall. > A couple of things convinced me Navy Seals attacked Osama > Bin Laden's compound. > > First, Sohaib Athar's Twitter of events taking place in real > time at the compound. > > http://tinyurl.com/3lm8e3j <http://tinyurl.com/3lm8e3j> > http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700132011/Timeline-of-coverage-in-Osama-bin-Ladens-death.html > > Second, the intensity of the look on the faces of Obama's > national security team as they watched Navy Seals attack > the compound.

Apparently he was able to watch what was going on to some degree, or was getting updates via phone from the attack team, and was relaying what was happening to the folks in the Situation Room. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/world/asia/03intel.html?hp <snip> > The White House is debating whether to release photos of > Osama.

The gummint must surely have access to experts who could produce a better fake photo than the one that was circulating earlier. Anyway, the government is saying they're afraid if they do release photos, they'll be used for recruitment purposes by the terrorists. I think they may be waiting to see if one of the Al Qaeda leaders confirms that bin Laden is dead, in which case they wouldn't need to put the photos out.
