Most of the reports I've heard were that they came from Afghanistan.

Has it been confirmed that the Pakistani government was unaware of this op, or opposed it?

Mr. Obama called President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan to tell him about the strike after it was set in motion, and his advisers called their Pakistani counterparts. “They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations,” Mr. Obama said.

The term "plausible deniability" comes to mind, in case something went wrong, or public reaction was poor.
Of course, I know nothing official beyond what you have heard.

Sir, are you referring to possibility that the Pakistani's were not informed of the raid, the burial at sea of OBL, how it was announced here by Obama or something else that I am not picking up on? Just trying to get a better feel for the whole situation in regards to the big picture.

This sure helps both countries put the Davis thing behind. Pakistan (ISI) officially has egg on their face. It sure will help us move forward.
This was planned for months and it is verified and true.
I should have not poo poohed the moment last night but I am always skeptical of this President.
However, this is an awesome victory for our Military, Intel services, and President Obama and offer my praise for a mission well accomplished.
Now let's get Zawahiti - the finger wagger. We know where he is.
We got alot of intel from those computers. It should be hell on earth now for Al Qeada.
Fast and furious shalt we pursue - and get our guys back home.

Thank you to all who have taken the battle to the enemy.
He could run, but he couldn't hide.
Sea, air, or land; there's was no hiding place.

Here are some pictures of the OBL compound and some chopper wreckage. Check out that fence, no wonder government officials keep stressing how unusual the building security was.
Here's some more photos of the inside of the building, lots of blood and obvious signs of site exploitation performed before exfil.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
It took nearly a decade but it is finally done.
Very well done by Seal Team Six although I wish it was some of us.
Guess I'll have to change my signature line.
