Watch the video you'll learn a lot about the operation and how information flows to the newsmen from the Whitehouse.
Evidently this compound is in the middle of an area that Pakistani military leaders go to when they retire. Pakistan has a lot of explaining to do.
Unfortunately, it appears the video was edited. Some of what they discussed has been edited out.
Here's an article;

Pakistan admits Bin Laden intelligence failure
Pakistan's main intelligence agency, the ISI, has said it is embarrassed by its failures on al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
An ISI official told the BBC the compound in Abbottabad where Bin Laden was killed by US forces on Sunday had been raided in 2003.
But the compound "was not on our radar" since then, the official said.
He gave new details of the raid, saying Bin Laden's young daughter had said she saw her father shot.
Bin Laden, 54, was the founder and leader of al-Qaeda. He is believed to have ordered the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, as well as a number of other deadly bombings....
I like the article title. After listening to what Brian Williams says it's putting it lightly.
ETA: The article has a video taken from inside the compound just after the fight was over. You can see blood so it may not be for all stomachs.
