InterceptPoint @59: "You might elaborate on that a bit. Tell us about this CBS fairy tale."

After a 200-round exchange, the terrorist only had two bullet wounds, but a large loss of blood, and yet climbed out of the boat on his own power, following the commands of the HRT.

Where's the mention or reporter's question about the gun he (and/or his brother) had? How could he be climbing out on his own power with all that (claimed) blood loss, which required a resuscitation bag to help him breath? How do they know he didn't have a bomb strapped on when they let him climb out on his own? What about the firefight that (allegedly) occurred at the boat itself between the terrorist and the policemen responding to the owner's 911 call?

Too much of this doesn't fit together.

Well I certainly can't argue with that. OTOH, the news conferences have themselves been nearly fact-free. Lots of rah, rah, what a team, look at me, ain't government great but nothing about the condition of #2 or the capture itself.

But one would assume that good reporters would dig these facts out. Not sure that's going to happen. The priority, as usual, will be on protecting the reputation of the current managers of all levels of the Government. From Obama down to the local precinct.
