The whistle-blower site Cryptome.org says it has found the place in North Carolina where Navy SEALs trained for their raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan:

In the best-selling book “No Easy Day,” a retired Navy SEAL who was on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden revealed that training for the assault on the al-Qaida leader’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, took place in North Carolina.

Taking that information, the creators of the whistleblowing site Cryptome.org, apparently scoured satellite imagery of CIA facilities in North Carolina.

Cryptome.org says the site is the Harvey Point Defense Testing facility, which online satellite mapping sites reveal what looks to be a mockup of the Bin Laden compound. No confirmation yet from the CIA.
