You know what's sad? Between the American and Pakistani intelligence agencies, I honestly can't say who the probable liar is.

its not a matter of who the liar is, what matters is who the better liar is, and who has a better ace in the hole

Cannot wait for the tinfoil on this one.

Or the anti-obama angle.

Here's a little bit of both from a Pulitzer winner: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour-m-hersh/the-killing-of-osama-bin-laden


Edit: for those who somehow don't have the luxury of reading a 10.000 word piece during their work day:

^ already exposed as being nonsense. There's so many holes in it to begin with you should see it immediately. Like, stealth choppers....... duh.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/foreigners/2015/05/seymour_hersh_s_london_review_of_books_investigation_of_the_osama_bin_laden.html and more http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/05/11/utter-nonsense-cia-and-white-house-blast-explosive-osama-bin-laden-raid-story/. The guy believed ONE person and ran with it. Full of shit.

But reporting by Hersh, who stood by his report on Monday, has come under scrutiny in recent years. Peter Bergen, an analyst for CNN and author of a book about the raid, wrote Monday that the new article is a “farrago of nonsense that is contravened by a multitude of eyewitness accounts, inconvenient facts and simple common sense.”

Bergen and others, like Vox’s Max Fisher, noted that Hersh’s new story relies heavily on two sources: A retired Pakistani general, Asad Durrani, and a “retired senior intelligence official who was knowledgeable about the initial intelligence about bin Laden’s presence in Abbottabad.” It is not made clear how that American source learned about the raid.

Replace James Brown with Bin Laden and we have a hit...

Edit: It just occured to me that this post would fit just as well in the BB King thread...

The fact that there was going to be a cover story for an operation like this seems a given. Hersch's article is shocking only for the extent that it purports to reveal such colossal fuckups behind the scenes.
