Bin Laden was running at 530 mph?
No, but maybe his eyeball was!

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalp...ition-analysis-of-obl-as-well-as-intel-g.htmlA US official tells ABC News that the public will learn more in the next few days about the way officials identified that the corpse of Osama bin Laden, as well as other information gleaned from the trove of date taken from the compound.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, had previously said the new information would be provided today but that officials had to push back timing of the release.
After Navy SEALs took photographs of bin Laden, CIA officials used facial recognition analysis to confirm that the man SEALs shot was in fact bin Laden. DNA samples matched those of bin Laden's relatives with 99.9 percent certainty.
President Obama decided against releasing photographs of bin Laden, fearing their graphic and gruesome nature could be inflammatory and put Americans at risk.
The government will also release more information from the computers seized in the raid on bin Laden's compound. Yesterday ABC News reported on evidence of discussions about targeting US rail lines and a possible attack marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
President Obama travels to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, today, where he will meet with members of the Navy SEALs and Army helicopter unit that took part in the bin Laden operation, watch my GMA report:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...-killed-after-he-retreated-into-his-room.htmlIn other fresh details, it was disclosed that after he was killed the Navy Seals attempted to identify bin Laden by his height, which was 6ft 4in, but were missing the necessary equipment. One member of the team volunteered to lie down next to his body so they could make an estimate.
No details on DNA yet, but some details about some of the sophisticated biometrics that were used in identification

I am just interested in the exact details of where Osama was genotyped, the time frame, the comparisions and why media organisations jumped the gun.
Place information here, as it comes to hand.
I love the way that LGR tried to show his dominance/superiority by not capatalizing the name "President" in his quote.
Imagine that.
But I bet Hitler would be capitalized.

“DNA analysis conducted separately by the Department of Defense and CIA labs has positively identified Osama bin Laden,” the official stated. Bin Laden’s DNA was compared to a comprehensive DNA profile from his family.
“Based on that analysis, the DNA is unquestionably his. The possibility of a mistaken identity on the basis of this analysis is approximately 1 in 11.8 quadrillion.”
The American forces first ferried the terrorist's body to the USS Carl Vinson for DNA tests to confirm a match with members of his extended family. His body was then wrapped in a white shroud while Islamic rites were administered and dropped into the Arabian Sea in a weighted bag, to ensure his final resting place could not become a shrine for extremists.
According to littlegreyrabbi, no DNA testing took place at all.
But he is just merrily extrapolating any old thing from stuff he's quote-mined.
Happily we have a photo of the 6.4 meter Osama watching himself on TV
6.4 METERS????????
Wow! TV certainly wasn't good to him. Made him look MUCH shorter! Must have been the camera angle.......or maybe the wrong setting on the camera.......
Or, better yet, how about the absurdity of ID by 'face recognition software'?
