Which version of bin Laden's death do you believe?

[yurbud]

Given Seymour Hersh's new account of bin Laden's death, that makes at THREE least superficially plausible stories of how he died.

• Hersh's walk-in for reward leads to unopposed execution raid

• The Obama administration ZERO DARK THIRTY narrative

• Former Pakistani president Benazir Bhutto's story that Osama has been dead since 2001

1. hmm.

A combination of a few

2. Take note, the movie does not agree with the official story.

But then, you knew that.

I voted Obama, but not the movie.

3. Don't know why anyone cares, after what he did

It happened at Benghazi.

4. Damned if I know.

But the bastard does seem to be dead, which is fine with me.

[get the red out]

7. Yep!!!

I just prefer the version with him dead rather than alive.

5. Usama is alive and well and living above a little hash bar in Amsterdam

6. frankly, I don't know what to believe, but I know unequivocally...

...that politicians and their minions lie routinely and reflexively to create narratives favorable to themselves and their positions, while competent journalists obsessively check and recheck their facts before publishing them. I also know that journalists make honest errors, and that they sometimes serve agendas other than simply reporting the truth as they discern it, and that politicians are generally smart enough to realize that truth is the best practice as long is it does no damage.

So I had to answer "other." I do not have sufficient data to determine who is correct, therefore I cannot know whom to believe.

8. the journalists who manage to make it onto TV and into major papers often seem least deserving

of that title.
