Sy Hersh vs. the White House on Bin Laden Kill Mission
Seymour Hersh's version of the targeted killing of Osama bin Laden couldn't be more different from that of the White House.
[Hersh] claims that Bin Laden’s burial at sea never happened, that Bin Laden was an invalid when the SEALs raided the compound and killed him, and that there was no firefight at all during the SEAL raid. Additionally, Hersh’s account says that the ISI captured and set bin Laden up in Abbottabad in the first place, to use him as “leverage” in the country’s dealings with al-Qaida and the Taliban.
Hersh's version appears here in the London Review of Books.[More...]
