it has been about 48 hours since osama bin laden went down. he is gone. the stuff he left behind in that compound could be the proverbial gift that keeps on giving, computer hard drives, cd roms, dvds and documents that could be loaded with priceless intelligence and al qaeda s plans and where the other leaders are. peter bergen calls it a treasure trove of information. it is now in u.s. hands. let s talk about that with cnn terrorism analyst paul crookshank. paul, welcome. hey, carol. how valuable is this stuff do you think? it could be very valuable, indeed. any time you seize hard drives and documents like this, al qaeda is a much more decentralized organization now than it was in the 1990s in taliban run afghanistan. it is unlikely this information
and that led them to the compound. peter, you ve gotten some information i m sorry. i missed that, anderson. i m sorry, peter. you ve gotten some word from your sources about some of the possible intelligence information they found at the compound. what have you learned? yeah. for a guy that didn t have internet service or phone service in this compound, u.s. officials were surprised by what they determined a boatload of evidence that was recovered in the compound, including cd-roms, dvds, other electronic equipment, stuff they are going to what they call they re going to exploit. essentially looking for any clues about potential al qaeda attacks in the united states or europe. and then secondarily to exploit to see if there s any information that might lead to other high-value targets, so-called, such as the ayman al
them of any kind of storage devices, cd roms and people are tired and exhausted after days of dangerous travel and some of them tell us the libyan soldiers are even stealing what few earning they have managed to make during the time in libya, stealing that from them as they come to tunisia and then sleeping in the streets for days, waiting to be evacuated on vessels like this egyptian navy ship. what a sad situation that you re highlighting for us. ivan watson on border with tunisia and libya. thank you so much. as we have been reporting, there are efforts to get some international aid there and we are hearing about france and we know we have two of our ships going there as well to the area to help with this humanitarian crisis that is unfolding on the border. a real complication. normally which there is a humanitarian crisis and a request for aid, the governments of the world like the u.s. government will be dealing with a government.
disappointment about anderson s interviewing and hard-hitting journalism. take a look. i think people thought there was going to be a smoking gun here. did we miss something? as a young lawyer, i remember being told, never overpromise. under promise, overdeliver, and the jury will look positively on you. we have an attorney that s done justiv the opposite. brady over overpromise, he set out tweets with pictures of the cd-roms expecting some big explosion. he told us two weeks ago thatks she was threatened with assault on we would find out more on 60 minutes when, in fact, we found out nothing new on 60 minutes. what are you waiting for? what is a trigger that has you releasing the physical evidence? i ask you whether there was any evidence, documentary evidence, photo evidence, that verified that stormy daniels had
love for each other, for neighbors and for our fellow americans. dr. king s faith and his love for humanity led him and so many other heroes to courageously stand up for civil rights of african-americans. today we celebrate dr. king for standing up for the self-evident truth americans hold so dear, that no matter what the color of our skin or the place of our birth we are all created equal by god. so that s what he said today in front of the cd-roms. but remember behind the cameras this is what the president just said yesterday. and i quote, why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? kind of make your skin crawl to hear him talk about dr. martin luther king s values. and more than that, it whitewashes dr. king. his message is just as powerful
