There’s a lot about the White House’s account that doesn’t quite add up. I’m not just talking about the changing story that led spokesman Jay Carney to admit: “Even I’m getting confused”. The erroneous details that Osama bin Laden was armed (he wasn’t), that his wife was used as a human shield (she wasn’t), that his wife was killed (she wasn’t) can be put down to over-egging the pudding or, if you’re feeling generous, the fog of war.
What I’m talking about is the bigger picture of how bin Laden was discovered and who was killed in that compound. Don’t worry, I’m not a “Deather”. It seems incontrovertible that bin Laden is indeed sleeping with the fishes. But what about the others - the Sheikh Abu Ahmed, also known as Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti – his brother, bin Laden’s son Hamza and bin Laden’s wife?
This is just a hunch but it seems to me that a plausible conclusion to be drawn from the confusing and opaque mass of detail is that Abu Ahmed, his brother or bin Laden’s own son betrayed him and is currently being given a new identity as he prepares to collect the $27 million reward for the al-Qaeda leader’s scalp.

I couldn’t care less. I’m just glad that he’s dead and that it was our military that killed him.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This is a big No No!
This administration doesn't know how to tell the truth its just not in them.
I assume Leon Panetta is not long for this administration admitting waterboarding got them the lead.
Early accounts of ANY news story very often aren’t true. I’m not making any excuses for the administration, and they DO lie without a doubt, but I’m not at all surprised that the description of events is changing.
So has lord McCain been heard from, I thought he ended this practice of 'terror'?
All I know and all I need to know is:
“An AMERICAN stormed Usama Bin Laden’s safehouse and shot him in the HEAD with a RIFLE. TWICE.”
LOL ... It just don’t get any better than that.
Dead men tell no tales.
10-4 on that! POS is dead, and our brave men did the deed!
Dumped his fugly butt over board, end of story!
Great day for America!
It was intel gleaned from rats at Gitmo.
Ditto that the Liar in chief can go screw a camel.
One only needs to compare and contrast this debacle to Gulf War I and Stormin' Norman giving press briefings or Saddam Hussein's capture briefing that CENTCOM put on at Bush's request, to see how absolutely incompetently and dangerously that this entire event has been handled by the White House. Something is terribly wrong at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and there is an evil shadow over everything that comes out of there. Something is very wrong with obama... very seriously wrong.
There is a real possibility that this obama is going to try to turn his election chances around by crucifying those that he ordered or agreed to allow or was told to allow to do what was mandated by Bush and Congress. America will explode in rage if they try to blame these finest Americans for anything or for any reason whatsoever.
LLS
Well did you?
Wouldn't his son's DNA also show a match?
Anything is possible with that immature muslim communist!
That poor camel. :(
1. After the operation, and the information wasn’t gleaned from active sources, so it’s no longer relevant.
2. Bodies? No need. Hard drives and computers collected at the scene represented the real data, no need to risk anything by humping nameless corpses.
3. This wasn’t a who’s who, there was one target.
4. “Perhaps because an informant would mean certainty and the fact of an informant is being protected. WTF? An informant or a courier being tailed, neither guarantee who is in the building. I’m sure there was other intelligence that is not being shared.
5. Why in God’s name would you alert the Pakistanis when it’s strongly suspected that there are loyalties in question about some of the Intelligence and Military?
6. A drone or missile strike would have destroyed intelligence and could have certainly denied the absolute certainty of the target being neutralized.
7. The four other bodies were incidental. They were not targets of the mission at hand.
8. We’re not privy to the exact details, they are coming out from conflicting sources.
9. Informant, willingly or unwillingly through covert observation, so what? That’s grasping at straws.
10. Current intelligence gathering techniques could readily provide the layout of the compound.
Now I am REALLY confused!
They watched the whole operation.
