he had been wanted for more than 15 years. he had been living, we re told, in the open in tripoli, the capitol of libya. a year ago there were news reports he had been sight. the he didn t have large security contingent with him. it s clear he felt comfortable there, so the question is, if they ve been watching him for some time, which i understand they have been, why carry this out now? the white house pushed back today and said the timing of the two raids in two separate countries happened to happen tame on saturday was sheer coincidence, but again, the question is, why grab al-liby now when he has been in the open for so long. shepard: back here at home, some severe weather all up and down the northeast, and more to come in other parts of the country. i ll show you this on my computer over here, or i ll try to. this is the scene right now shift, shift, f-10. shift, shift, f-11.
