representative elliott engel from new york.ank you. >>> the agency will brief the media at noon eastern. evan coleman is an nbc news terrorism analyst. he joins us now. good morning to you, evan. >> good morning. >> we've heard from nbc's jim miklaszewski earlier that bin laden may not have left this compound for maybe like a five-year period. what does that say? >> well, number one, it tells us that there are not that many places where bin laden could go that he would be safe, clearly even in pakistan bin laden had to be careful that he wasn't seen by the wrong people. he was sequestered in this one location that apparently al qaeda viewed as being beyond the reach of the united states. it was nowhere near where the drones were flying over. in al qaeda's estimation he was perfectly safe chilling out at this one location. but you also have to wonder how pless and that the was for bin laden and his family to be stuck, literally inside your own prison, even a quote, unquote, mansion, it doesn't sound terribly fun or scintillating
