I think they said he was shot a week ago because of the time difference between USA and Pakistan. It was Monday morning when obl was killed and at that time it was still Sunday in USA. So when Monday was stated, the hearer assumed it was April 25 and not May 2. May 2 would be the future in the US.
I found it funny that zero was to break the news but took so long that the news reporters started breaking the news. The misinformation started immediately. He was shot a week ago; his body is being flown to US;
You can bet he was ticked that the news was leaked.Funniest moment of all this.Someone said to Geraldo that he broke the news about Bin Laden’s death.This was live.He got this big smile.Pretty pathetic when you make the news about you the reporter.
