In his house.
Yep, ironically it was the waterboardings, etc. that allowed us to find that house.

Except that NO confirmed data has been reported that supports that assertion, and MANY statements have been made by THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE that indicate that waterboarding and other forms of enhanced interrogation had NOTHING to do with the operation.

The evidence is much more compelling that it was the result of putting more CIA assets in the field in Afghanistan and Pakistan several years ago and then NSA's intercept of e-mails and phone calls, based on what those assets found or heard.
