Early accounts of ANY news story very often aren’t true. I’m not making any excuses for the administration, and they DO lie without a doubt, but I’m not at all surprised that the description of events is changing.

I would agree if it were an isolated fact twisted here or there... or a mistaken identity or a time-line skew... but time after time after time after time the story changes 180 degrees in direction or reverses at full throttle. It is beyond explanation as "fog of war"... there is a war going on here... and you can bank on it that the evil doer in the White House is at WAR with America's Finest and the few in the White House that still care a small bit for America. That is the truth.

One only needs to compare and contrast this debacle to Gulf War I and Stormin' Norman giving press briefings or Saddam Hussein's capture briefing that CENTCOM put on at Bush's request, to see how absolutely incompetently and dangerously that this entire event has been handled by the White House. Something is terribly wrong at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and there is an evil shadow over everything that comes out of there. Something is very wrong with obama... very seriously wrong.

There is a real possibility that this obama is going to try to turn his election chances around by crucifying those that he ordered or agreed to allow or was told to allow to do what was mandated by Bush and Congress. America will explode in rage if they try to blame these finest Americans for anything or for any reason whatsoever.

Usually, it is the earliest account that is true as the spin doctors take over soon after. In this case, there was NO news story. Everything has been hearsay and the reporting has merely been reporting of statements from the White House. By the time we heard about OBL's death, his body too had been disposed of.

You are not a dumb blonde by any stretch and you could not be more right. It is painful sometimes trying to follow a breaking news story because typically those who talk the most (to the media) know the least. The media is so anxious to break a new “fact” on a hot story that they rush to report anything and rarely get it right.

We see it happen over and over. It feeds conspiracy theories and makes too many rush to judgment based on incomplete or wrong information.

A story like this is unfortunately formed in the first 24 hour news cycle when the least reliable information is available.

He is dead.... likely from a double tap. The rest of it is just media noise. Kudos to the intel folks and troops for making it happen.
