Osama Bin Laden Was Unarmed During Navy SEAL Raid, Says White House
Was Osama bin Laden intentionally shot? Weren’t they all sleeping at 1am local time—and why couldn’t the small number of people in the house have been immobilize d with gas or stun technology ?
What was the internal policy on how to handle the ultimate hot potato—and what were the real preferences in terms of “dead or alive”?
Why did they first tell us that he “resisted” and therefore had to be shot? Surely, the SEALS and their commanders knew at the time what happened—and communicat ed that well before Obama’s speech. How did the story get screwed up initially?
Why did they first tell us that bin Laden’s party used a woman as a “human shield” when that was not true? See above.
Why, exactly, did he have to be tossed into the sea? Why not say he was given a land burial, per Islamic law, in an undisclosed location—b ut do so in a location where his body could be exhumed were additional forensic work deemed necessary at a later date?
What about the timing of this event? Coming on a Sunday night, on the heels of the imperial good feelings associated with the royal wedding, shortly after a number of other carefully considered media events (e.g. the birth certificate release), all timed with the launching of Obama’s re-electio n campaign?
Can those who were tough on Bush apply the same standards and skepticism to the Obama administration, or is everything partisan and self-servi ng now?
Do we, after all of the years of lying, all of a sudden accept whatever the government says as true?

Obama's Osama Bin Laden Mission Captured In Historic Situation Room Pictures (PHOTOS)
In bin Laden killing, media -- as usual -- regurgitates false Government claims Virtually every major newspaper account of the killing of Osama bin Laden consists of faithful copying of White House claims. That's not surprising: it's the White House which is in exclusive possession of the facts, but what's also not surprising is that many of the claims that were disseminat ed yesterday turned out to be utterly false. And no matter how many times this happens --from Jessica Lynch's heroic firefight against Iraqi captors to Pat Tillman's death at the hands of Evil Al Qaeda fighters -- it never changes: the narrative is set forever by first-day government falsehoods uncritical ly amplified by establishm ent media outlets, which endure no matter how definitive ly they are disproven in subsequent days.
Yesterday, it was widely reported that bin Laden "resisted" his capture and "engaged in a firefight" with U.S. forces (leaving most people, including me, to say that his killing was legally justified because he was using force). It was also repeatedly claimed that bin Laden used a women -- his wife -- has a human shield to protect himself, and that she was killed as a result. That image -- of a cowardly through violent-to-the-end bin Laden -- framed virtually every media narrative of the event all over the globe. And it came from many government officials, principall y Obama's top counter-te rrorism adviser, John Brennan.
