It turns out those U.S. Navy SEALs who raided Osama bin Laden's compound and killed him got a hold of his handwritten journal. That's according to a U.S. official who calls it the al Qaeda playbook.

Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Anderson,
Have a great night & good sleep at home after work!!!
See you tomorrow night!!! Just a plenty sleep at home!
Good night
Good Night Anderson and everyone. Have a wonderful week.
Sounds like an appropriate person for the Ridiculist tonight.
Shouldn't their 15 mins of fame be done by now? Certain people just need to go away!
yes – princess beatrice's hat made "a statement" – i must say there are some very creative hat designers in london!
Newt, from Cobb, Georgia has the highest amount of federal funds (between 3 and 4 billion dollars to Lockheed) of almost any county in the USA. Therefore, his touting that he does not want Federal money is a lie!
the old newt vs the new newt. well it certainly is not an easy process to redefine oneself – will be very interesting to see how it turns out
why did Newt quit the first time around? does anyone know?
I have a feeling the Quadfi regime may be on the verge of collapsing. Miss seeing commentary by Faoud Agami....bring him back soon!
Isha,
I agree with you. One reporter is so lucky alive during earthquake, that is so close, Oh wow!!!!! Thank god he is safe, I agree with Anderson says.
Amazing video of the earthquake in Spain.
Rebels in Libya are making progress. Hope they will get stronger.
How does an earthquake destroy so much of a city when the magnitude was only 5.1?
Good point question Lilly,
I think I have experience felt earthquake look like sway or move or bouncing or shaking around...... it compare ours, On depends what if move alot or feeling move or you have to know what are you feeling, that is different fault lines where goes than usually fault lines as well.
Just Amazing pictures Anderson and team. Thank You
The interview with the Pakestan Amb. to the US was a contradiction. He stated that Pakistan was working to
co-operate with the US , yet, Pakistan will be sharing the crashed helicoptor technology with China . He also was vague about any hint of Al-Zawari's presense in Pakistan , because he is paid not to know . or.he is paid because he is kept in the dark about such knowledge !!
that would be good news for the rebels – if they did indeed control the airport
Pakistans ambassaor was talking in circles. When your receving billions of US dollars you wouldn't admit to anything that would cut that off.
I second that !!
Good news for you, Libya had to stop war, they declared winner in Tripol, Libya.... and also bad news for you, Spain struck earthquake including death and destroy bell as well.
It's astounding to see the extent of the flooding in the South.
@Jeff 10:20 Yes if it makes them feel better.
Please do not reveal in detail Bin Laden's plans as delineated in his journal. You will only be giving his followers their next instructions. CNN, don't be his voice!
Do you think families that were affected by 9/11 should be able to see Bin Laden's dead body?
Jeff,
Yes, It was.......people felt angry and relief to heard OBL to death, They were affecting since 911...... Good point!
I think they should iif they want to see the pics, I believe they should. We allow family members of murder victims to see a death sentence, The 9/11 families should also be given that option.
It seems the US and Pakistan have to have a cooperative relationship–even with what has happened.
Yikes, 14 feed above flood levels???? What a mess. My condolences for all struggling with the flooding...
Yup. It was! Very messy right now....... I agree that word "YIKES!" Good point.
It is just the same thing about lost and found. It takes time. Now OBL is dead. That's it.
This shows tha osama was having friends all over tha world
Its sad that people who actually commit terrorist acts still exist in this world, and I dont think killing OBL will end it. Although I'm ecstatic they got rid of him.
Good Evening Everyone! Greetings!
Hi Anderson. Hi Everyone. Good evening
@Gabe 10:02 I don't think it stops doubt. One truth. Truth is limited, doubts are unlimited.
We have breaking news that I have heard one of journal who knew turns out those U.S. Navy SEALs who raided Osama bin Laden's compound and killed him got a hold of his handwritten journal. That's according to a U.S. official who calls it the al Qaeda playbook. The journal gives chilling guidance on how to attack the United States. That is s interesting news right now.
Thank You for the information, Megan!!!
I just cannot imagine that the ISI had no knowledge that OBL was living in Pakistan... especially since OBL had been living there for years. He was not just there for a couple of months...
Good point Nina..... No one know OBL was hiding somewhere in Pakistan or compound as well.
Thanks Megan. If they did not know, then I have concerns about Pakistan's intelligence and security within their borders.
Nina,
You are right..... I agree with you. That was difficult to find OBL since almost 10 year since.
And you're welcome. 🙂
I believe that the Pakistan miltary was helping Bin Laden
Good point, Lilly!!!! I think so. They did hiding him, They denied to tell us and lying to us, they are going to punish as well.
Evening AC and AC360
good evening everyone
It dosn't matter what they find or claim they have found, if they don't release a photo the conspiracy theorists will never stop!
Gabe I don't think it stops doubt. One truth. Truth is limited, doubts are unlimited.
I agree with Chi.......... That will be matter to found truth if they have proof or not, no doubt if they will haven't release a picture of OBL as well.
Good evening Everyone
Anderson,
Hi! It's great to see you on.
Osama bin Laden's journal must be fascinating–though disturbing–to read.
