IT just doesn't add up. The official American explanation for the operation against Osama bin Laden keeps changing every day. But at every point it requires such a leap of faith into the extraordinarily unlikely that it has a disturbing ring of contrivance about it. There is no doubt the Americans conducted an operation and killed bin Laden on Monday, but the surrounding detail and overall narrative is difficult to swallow.

I believe what Osama bin Laden little daughter said she saw was probably correct - we assassinated OBL. I don't have a problem with that- he's dead, good riddance. However, I believe that the W.H. does have a problem about it, in that there are grave concerns about how it would play out in the international world and to the leftist. That's why Leon Panetta said that Seal Team 6 ultimately made the decision to kill OBL not the President, to wash the President of any culpability if news ever got out. Quote: .... He said: "The authority here was...

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz renders his two opponents — Col. Morris Davis, former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo and Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times — speechless as he makes the case for why the photos of a dead Osama bin Laden should be released, dismantling every one of their counterpoints in the process. He suggests that news outlets, should they elect to sue the government to obtain the photos, would have a winning case. But will any have the gumption to do so? (Or at least, more than had the gumption to publish the Muhammad cartoons?) DERSHOWITZ: The...

So far, I count five mutually exclusive stories -- plus dozens of contradictory details -- being told by the White House about what can only be called "The Osama Incident." Was he killed? Where is the proof? Did it take 16 hours for Obama to make a 'go' decision? Did Panetta actually make the decision? Did Obama go golfing first and take a nap? Did a US Navy SEAL team take 38 minutes to kill one armed guard and get to an unarmed Osama while he was watching "American Idol?" Was a wife killed? Were there 1,2,3,4, or 5 wives...

this make sense now why whitehouse seem not to know what happened. We were lead to believe that they were actually watching it live, but in fact, thats false. They didn't watch it as it unfolded, thats why they couldn't get their fact right about how bin laden was killed. First he was carrying a gun and that there was an battle, then he was unarmed he was shot
