This is all fake!
Even if it was, do you want to guess why? bin Laden hadn’t been seen or heard much for a long time, so it was probably a matter of do the mission, wait a little to see if anyone from al qaeda cares he’s at least missing, then run the story. I believe it’s true that bin Laden was dead. I doubt that anyone from al qaeda cared much for him at the time. If the operation was a fake, well then it probably was because he wasn’t talking and possibly dead and we couldn’t find the corpse.
