11:23 a.m. — Why did the U.S. act alone?
While I’m sure more will come to light in the coming days about why the U.S. acted without Pakistan’s blessing, the Daily Beast’s Christopher Dickey writes:

Going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against Al Qaeda and its affiliates,” said Obama. But for its own geopolitical—and purely political—reasons Pakistan is likely to continue being as much part of the problem as part of the solution. At least after the Abbottabad shootout, it’s clear the administration isn’t kidding itself. When it got a shot at Bin Laden, it took it. No dithering. No dilatory diplomacy. Secrecy was maintained. The Pakistanis were cut out. And justice was done.

Also, it’s sounding like the testimony of Gitmo detainees played a pivotal role in taking down the al-Qaeda leader:

In September 2010, the CIA presented Obama with a set of assessments that indicated bin Laden could be hiding in a compound in northwest Pakistan. Starting in mid-March, the president convened at least nine National Security Council meetings to discuss the intelligence suggesting bin Laden may be hiding out virtually in plain sight.
