CIA translators at a secret facility in Northern Virginia are pouring over the equivalent of millions of pages from more than 110 flash drives, laptops and other digital storage devices as well as piles of paper, all captured from the Osama bin Laden hideout in Pakistan. According to today's Washington Post, after talks with unnamed US intelligence officers, "bin Laden was preoccupied with attacking the United States over all other targets, a fixation that led to friction with followers." Greg Miller co-wrote the story.
