Sorry GOP the Associated Press and Fox News Subpoenas Are Not Scandals


Sorry GOP the Associated Press and Fox News Subpoenas Are Not Scandals

AP, June 29, 2011: Informed sources, citing highly classified documents, have told Associated Press reporters that United State’s Navy Seal Team 6 has finalized plans for a raid on Osama bin Laden’s Abbottabad, Pakistan compound in the neighborhood of Kakul, 40 miles outside Islamabad (see photos and exact address). CIA insiders (we’ve promised not to identify them) have told Associated Press that the attack is planned for 1AM, May 2nd. Other U.S. forces will be involved with perhaps as many as 75 or more commandos according to our government sources.

Here, thanks for our CI (confidential informant) is how the raid has been drawn up. These are satellite photos and diagrams of the 7 walls of varying height (note the barbed wire) that will likely come into play during the raid. Our sources tell us that two-dozen Seals will be helicoptered into the compound location 2.5 miles from the center of Abbottabad.

Observers will want to track the path (see diagram) to the compound from the staging base in Jalalabad in Afghanistan. AP plans real-time radar tracking as U.S. helicopters approach, much like tracking Santa Claus at Christmas-time. Several types of arms will be utilized, including Heckler and Koch 416 carbines, Heckler and Koch MP7′s and assorted military assault rifles such as AK-47′s. We at AP were further informed that navigators would use Hyperspectral Imagers. This piece of equipment is currently classified, but we’ve managed to get Patent Office copies from an unidentified employee, that reveal the Imager’s inner-workings. Reference the end of this article.

Occupants of the compound will want to be on the lookout for 2 U.S. helicopters that will hover directly above the courtyard and the roof as Seals lower ropes upon which to climb into the facility. Residents should be forewarned that the CIA plans to cut power in the area, leaving the compound in the dark while the American forces will have Panoramic Night-Vision Goggles. The hovers should happen shortly after 1 AM. Entry will then be forced and any resistance will be responded to with deadly force. It is preferable that bin Laden be captured alive, but as our CIA source told us, “If he gets nicked, he gets nicked.”

I’ve written these ridiculous fictionalized paragraphs to point out just how absurd and fictionalized the current AP and Fox News “scandals” really are. There is no scenario where the above story would find it’s way onto a media platform, pre-raid. And that’s the point of the government investigating the logistics of leaking a different incident involving a terrorist and heavily laden with classified information and reported by the Associated Press when the long-standing news organization should have known better.
