Seymour M. Hersh · The Killing of Osama bin Laden · LRB 21 May 2015

I also had not heard of The London Review of Books. Here is what Wikipedia says;

Very upsetting.

Can get political too fast. So no comment. I do hope others will get to read this by also not commenting on it.

I agree. It is world affairs and non partisan I think...but it will be kicked, I am sure.

When someone bases their writing on a single anonymous source be very skeptical.

Who you gonna believe. Some anonymous CIA "source", or a couple of Seals that were actually there. I'll take the Seals, thank you.

Be sure to keep an open mind and look at both sides of the story before jumping to conclusions.

I don't recall the Seals ever mentioning a fire fight, but I could be wrong.

I stand corrected - Rob O'Neill is reporting on FOX news there was a firefight and Semore Hersch's report is totally incorrect. He is the SEAL that actually killed Bin Laden.
