And you want me to believe that if the Pakistani government knew it, the US government did not?
OK, let me modify that...the CIA did not?
Sy Hersh, once again, comes up with the story.
Read it; it's quite interesting.
According to his source, Pakistan had captured bin Laden, and the Sauds paid them to keep him alive and away from the Americans. He also says that the US was cutting back aid to Pakistan, and in return for several millions of dollars, the Pakistanis allowed the US to go in and take bin Laden out. Not in the way the movie line went, or the SEAL story, however, as he was reportedly ailing badly. ‘The truth is that bin Laden was an invalid, but we cannot say that,’ the retired official said. ‘“You mean you guys shot a cripple? Who was about to grab his AK-47?”’
There's still plenty of fishy angles, but the media excitement is the fact that Washington has been lying. Really? It would be more exciting to find out Washington wasn't lying.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
