But will they convince everyone? some here in pakistan already pointing to the one video clip that purportedly shows osama bin laden sitting on the floor, covered by a blanket, remote control in hand, flipping through a television set. that particular image only shows a partial profile and some here could say that they cannot conclude definitively thats indeed osama bin laden. its a sign of the dep trust many here in pakistan have for planes coming out of washington and the u.s. government. in t...

Security establishment being questioned globally by senior officials in washington, but now the pakistani public is questioning pakistans spy agencies and the army here asking how is it possible that osama bin laden managed for years to hide out in a compound right under the noses of the pakistani military? the army doing some damage control over the past few days, insisting that they had no idea that osama bin laden was in this compound, but not everyone here in pakistan is convinced. drew? >> ...

Confiscated from bin ladens compound, the department released yesterday. what kind of action has come out of pakistan since? >> reporter: well, these new images are convincing some skeptics here in pakistan that bin laden is dead, but its not convincing everyone. i think the big story here is the added pressure to the pakistani government especially, the army and the security establishment. over the past couple of years, weve certainly heard a lot of senior u.s. officials suggest that perhaps pa...

Control in hand flipping through a television set, that particular image only shows a martial profile and some say they could not conclude that is osama bin laden, its a sign of the deep mistrust many in pakistan have more claims coming out of washington and the u.s. government. in the wheen time pakistan usually establishment cannot be thrilled with the publicity is listens to surround osama bin ladens death and the raid on this compound. the pakistani army behind the scenes most paur half inst...

Reaction. i think both the government and military have much bigger issues to worry about. this has been a big blow, especially to the pakistani militarys reputation. technically its the civilian government thats supposed to run this country, but behind the scenes theres no question that the pakistani military is the most powerful institution in this country, and this has been a blow to their reputation, their status. they have had to answer a lot of questions, first and foremost. how does osama...

Questions. they havent convinced everybody, not just around the world, but here domestically. so probably not thrilled the security establishment has these pictures coming out. >> its difficult to underestimate the role that pakistan has played with the united states, which is controversial. this is an army in pakistan which gets about $6 billion a year in the budget. are we clear at all what pakistan knew, being the government or the military, and who has the most sway? >> well, i dont think th...

Inreceivable that members of the pakistani security establishment, army or intelligence services or both, did not know exactly where osama bin laden was. i dont know if necessarily it meant the people at the top on either the military or civilian side knew that. but, again just strange to believe there was not a degree of insider complicity here. >> well see how we handle that now, that relationship with pakistan under increasing strain. richard haas, thanks for being up early with us. peesht it...

Discovered the worlds most-wanted man was living inside it. when we arrived here this morning, very calm, life going on, frankly, as normal. behind me, over the trees, is the compound in question. i think its also important to point out, a massive military town, just over there we have two or three substantial military bases and academies. and thats fueling some of these suggestions that pakistanis -- pakistan security establishment, must have known something about bin laden being lehere. lookin...

Over a month ago we were demanded to go to an interview with moussa koussa and gave a very robust defense of the regime. a couple weeks later at a press conference, he was reading a statement with his head down like this and really didnt seem to have his heart in it, the first time there was an indication he may not be as committed to the regime as appeared on the surface. he gave the impression here he was going just across the border for something else. everyone believed he was coming back. to...
