The release of Osama bin Laden’s papers, letters, and documents to the public this week provide more than just a fascinating look into the mind of the terrorist — they also revealed startling information that former President Barack Obama wanted withheld from the public. During the closing days of the Obama administration, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper released several dozen documents retrieved from the late terrorist’s Abbottabad, Pakistan compound.
That brought the total number released by the Obama administration to 571, which, according to Clapper’s press release, closed “the book on Osama bin Laden” given that they were the “final Abbottabad documents.” Well, not quite final — there were a few more. It turned out those 571 bin Laden documents released by the previous administration amounted to a mere 0.12 percent of the total. This week the Trump administration released the other 470,000.
