Jon Stewart quickly turned last night from celebrating Osama bin Laden's death, to asking some hard questions about how much the Pakistani government knew of the whereabouts of bin Laden.
You want us to believe that the ISI, the Pakistani intelligence, the military, the government, they didn't have any idea bin Laden was there, or any involvement in putting bin Laden there.PERVEZ MUSHARRAF (5/2/2011): I think ISI must be utterly stupid to put them in such a prominent place, hiding him in such a prominent place. That is not what ISI would have done. Certainly not.So your defense is basically the ISI is way too smart to put bin Laden in such an obvious place, but far too clueless to know he was there. They're in that magic sweet spot. Smart enough not to do it, dumb enough not to know. And by the way, hiding bin Laden? Hiding? Bin Laden wasn't hiding in Pakistan, he was chilling in Pakistan. Crashing, if you will. If Waldo hid the way Osama bin Laden did, I wouldn't find those books so incredibly frustrating!
Look, that's him right there! He's in the giant high-walled compound! He's right there!
