If this is a made-up story, why didn’t they wait until October 30, 2012?
I am NOT saying that the general gist of the story (OBL is dead) is a lie, just that certain elements are. The best news in years, and Obama rushes to congratulate HIMSELF before they are truly ready to announce this. He made it all political by announcing it himself, late on a Sunday night, without any evidence to corroborate it. He deserves any distrust this creates.
