The writing certainly doesn't!
Was it a liquid lunch at the Tele, or were there work experience boys in for the day?
| Quote: | One email stamped secret and sent on May 2 by a senior Navy officer briefly describes how bin Laden's body was washed, wrapped in a white sheet, and then placed in a weighted bag.
According to another message from the Vinson's public affairs officer, only a small group of the ship's leadership was informed of the burial
Bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011, by a Navy SEAL team that assaulted his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. His body was carried out to sea by the USS Carl Vinson.
"Traditional procedures for Islamic burial was followed," the May 2 email from Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette reads. "A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker. After the words were complete, the body was placed on a prepared flat board, tipped up, whereupon the deceased's body slid into the sea." |
- How do you stamp an email before you send it?
- 'Navy officer'? If you like... 'Naval officer' is preferred.
- What is 'the ship's leadership'? Bodies of men have leaders, not ships.
- 'Traditional procedures was followed.'??
- 'After the words were complete'? Were there letters missing? |

They probably didn't want to tamper with text from such a revered source!  |

I posted this in another thread, and realized it fits here better.
Paul Craig Roberts recently wrote an article which includes a translation of an interview with a Pakistani man who claims to have witnessed the whole raid from his rooftop next door.
In short, he says that the "Osama compound" was his neighbor's house, and his neighbor was not Osama Bin Laden. He says a helicopter landed, dropped off a group of soldiers. He said they were speaking Pashtu(Afghani language), telling people to stay in their houses or they would be shot. He says 20 minutes later, the helicopter returned, picked them up, and as it was taking off, it exploded, killing all on board. He says everyone from the neighborhood went over to see, and were on the scene and saw body parts and no survivors.

Interesting interview with the Pulitzer prize winning journalist, Seymour Hersh, in the Guardian.

Seymour Hersh on Obama, NSA and the 'pathetic' American media
Pulitzer Prize winner explains how to fix journalism, saying press should 'fire 90% of editors and promote ones you can't control'
The Guardian. Lisa O'Carroll. 27 September 2013
Seymour Hersh has got some extreme ideas on how to fix journalism – close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which, he says, is to be an outsider.
It doesn't take much to fire up Hersh, the investigative journalist who has been the nemesis of US presidents since the 1960s and who was once described by the Republican party as "the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist".
He is angry about the timidity of journalists in America, their failure to challenge the White House and be an unpopular messenger of truth.
Don't even get him started on the New York Times which, he says, spends "so much more time carrying water for Obama than I ever thought they would" – or the death of Osama bin Laden. "Nothing's been done about that story, it's one big lie, not one word of it is true," he says of the dramatic US Navy Seals raid in 2011.
Hersh is writing a book about national security and has devoted a chapter to the bin Laden killing. He says a recent report put out by an "independent" Pakistani commission about life in the Abottabad compound in which Bin Laden was holed up would not stand up to scrutiny. "The Pakistanis put out a report, don't get me going on it. Let's put it this way, it was done with considerable American input. It's a bullshit report," he says hinting of revelations to come in his book.
The Obama administration lies systematically, he claims, yet none of the leviathans of American media, the TV networks or big print titles, challenge him.
"It's pathetic, they are more than obsequious, they are afraid to pick on this guy [Obama]," he declares in an interview with the Guardian.

Rest of the interview at link.
Hersh won his Pulitzer for exposing the May Lai Massacre. |
