For nearly a decade, Osama bin Laden has been believed to be hiding out along the Pakistani-Afghan border. But the 9-11 mastermind was found and targeted just an hour north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, in a large compound in the city of Abbottabad.

Carl Levin (D-Mich) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) want to get answered. We talk this morning withRep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas), a member of House Armed Services Committee, who recently returned from a trip to Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq with House Speaker John Boehner.
