OBL WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN ALIVE IF NO RESISTANCE GIVEN

In a New York Times report Obomber's Counterterrorism dude John Brennan said that bin Laden could have been taken alive if he did not resist.

American officials insisted they would have taken Bin Laden into custody if he did not resist, although they considered that likelihood remote. “If we had the opportunity to take Bin Laden alive, if he didn’t present any threat, the individuals involved were able and prepared to do that,” Mr. Brennan said.

So this explains the untrue OBL-used-wife-as-human-shield-while-firing-AK47 story. ObL was unarmed. Did he resist? How can a man seriously ill with kidney failure resist a member of an elite military unit?

The same report states that
1. nine children, from 2 to 12 years old, are now in Pakistani custody
2. four men and one woman were killed. One man is alleged to be ObL (identified by ObLs wife and through facial recognition software after a photo of the corpse was sent to Langley). Another dead man was named as ObLs son Hamza. The other two men were the courier who had been under surveillance and his brother. The woman is unnamed, though The Daily Mail says it was ObLs wife, in which case how many of ObLs wives were there? And where are they now?
3. ObL was on the third floor.
4. the compound had been under satellite surveillance for months (they could have quickly known it was ObL if they had used their remote mind reading technology)
5. during the escape a helicopter stalled so it was blown up. But it is also reported elsewhere that one helicopter crashed or was shot down. This NYT report states that four helicopters flew 79 personnel into the compound. So that leaves just two helicopters to carry back out 79 US personnel, a dead ObL and according to later reports on BBC Radio 4 One O'Clock News today ObLs brother, who was alive!

Things do not compute.

Who was at the compound at the time?

Who shot the helicopters and how may were lost? Did one crash and one stall under fire during the escape? Or are the crashed and stalled helicopters the same one helicopter, leaving three for the escape? Could those three carry 79 personnel, a corpse of ObL and a living brother of ObL?

What really happened?

Who owned the compound?
