(Reuters) - Photographs acquired by Reuters and taken about an hour after the U.S. assault on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan show three dead men lying in pools of blood, but no weapons.

The photos, taken by a Pakistani security official who entered the compound after the early morning raid on Monday, show two men dressed in traditional Pakistani garb and one in a t-shirt, with blood streaming from their ears, noses and mouths.

The official, who wished to remain anonymous, sold the pictures to Reuters.

Pakistan faced national embarrassment, a leading Islamabad newspaper said, in explaining how the world's most-wanted man was able to live for years in the military garrison town of Abbottabad, just north of the capital.

ONEDIT: Reuters updated the story which includes GRAPHIC photographs of the dead men described in the article. HERE is a link to the new article (GRAPHIC WARNING)

This doesn't sound like the stronghold of a terrorist mastermind, it sounds more like house arrest right where the ISI can keep an eye on him. Whether or not it is politically convenient to acknowledge it, for bin Laden to be unarmed in this fashion (i.e. especially given his trademark AK-47), it would seem more likely that some kind of deal had been worked out with either the Pakistani government or the ISI or some other higher-up intelligence organ in the country.

The three men would be the two couriers, one of bin Laden's sons and the rest of the dozen or more people there were either children under 12 or wives of the two "couriers" or wives of bin Laden, with the exception of a Yemeni woman who was the "house doctor".

No bodyguards, possibly no guns...Is this the Pakistani version of Club Fed for "useful" terrorists? Because I have little doubt that's how the ISI rolls. There are a lot of people in India, like the Indian government, who believe the ISI had a hand in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

What is Pakistan/ISI up to and now that bin Laden is dead, do we still want to be aboard their crazy train?
