By Mac Slavo: Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Samuel Hersh claimed yesterday that the Obama administration lied to the American people
about certain aspects aspects of the 2011 raid that killed Osama Bin
Laden. According to Hersh, the United States did not act alone when Navy
SEALs were sent to capture or kill the world’s most wanted terrorist.
The real story, according to the report, is that members of Pakistani
intelligence services were privy to the raid months before it happened
and that it was a “walk-in” Pakistani intelligence officer who gave up
the location of Bin Laden rather than a CIA operation that tracked him
down by following various couriers. Further, it has been claimed that
Bin Laden was not buried at sea the way the Obama administration said,
but rather, his limbs were simply thrown from the helicopter after the
mission (suggesting that some portion of his body, perhaps his head,
were retained for posterity’s sake).
It’s a markedly different story than the one President Obama told
on the night he announced Bin Laden’s death. In that nationally
televised speech the President took credit for ordering the raid and
made it clear it was a unilateral action involving only American assets.
The Obama administration has spent the last 24 hours working to discredit the story. Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said the report from Hersh was “largely a fabrication” with “too many inaccuracies.” The White House says the Hersh’s investigation is riddled with inaccuracies.
