In the case of Laden's corpse, flip-wing V-22 Osprey flew the body from a US base in Afghanistan's Bagram to USS Carl Vinson—a thousand-foot-long nuclear-powered aircraft carrier sailing in the Arabian Sea, off the Pakistani coast --in another violation of Islamabad's airspace
How is a US carrier operating off of the coast of Pakistan a violation of Islamabad airspace? Or, is the assertion that the flight did not have standard dip clearance to go from Afghanistan to feet wet?
Not sure our intrepid reporter has it right ... this is confusing.
Minutes later, McRaven appeared on the teleconference screen in the Situation Room in the White House and confirmed that Laden's body was in the bag. The corpse was sent to Bagram.
How's that, again? OK, they dumped the bag in the sea, but sent the corpse to Bargram?
Someone needs to talk to his editor.
