    So (according to Hersh) Bin Laden was detained by ISI since 2006; US raid was coordinated with ISI; there was no firefight or burial at sea.

        @benwizner @reihan the official story doesn't seem especially implausible. Never investigated as it doesn't seem that important.

        @robertwiblin @reihan Which official story? Human shields? Gun battle? Zero Dark Thirty? If the WH and CIA lied, is that important?

        @benwizner @reihan I expect them to lie about details of secret ops like this to some extent, to protect sources/relationships.

        @robertwiblin @benwizner It's not clear that you read the piece. That's okay, but doesn't make a ton of sense to engage in this discussion.

        @reihan @benwizner I read the first five hundred words of the OP, decided it wasn't probable enough to read on.

        @benwizner Hersh's latest stories are to be read with caution. Only quoting anonymously officials. August 21st piece was badly researched.

        @FredericJacobs @lexiconstable Very possible that some of Hersh's sources are spinning for their own reasons. But official story is crap.

        @benwizner Makes much more sense than the official US narrative which had more holes in it than Swiss cheese from Day 1.

        @benwizner my screenplay ideas apparently come true. I had another one that parallels the new pope to the letter. Hmm.
