account of bin laden's life after 9/11 when he sought and found refuge in pakistan and chronicles incompetence on behalf of the government officials who allowed the criminal mastermind to live undetected in their country for nine years. then to top it all off, fail to detect and respond to a u.s. raid on its own soil that killed him. the report calls it a case of government implosion syndrome, to put it mildly. exposed by journalists at al jazeera, it gives us a fascinating account of how bin laden lived in secret for all those years. for instance, to avoid detection, he at one point shaved off his world-famous beard and bought his compound using a fake national i.d. card and occupants paid no taxes. when venturing outside, he liked to wear a wide-brimmed cowboy hat to avoid aerial detection. a tidbit that london's "daily mail" had fun with to create this photo shopped picture of bin laden in a stetson, a black one before.
