The great cover up! Obama, White House officials, LIED about 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden
FREE Catholic Classes
When Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011 during a raid by U.S. Navy SEALs, President Obama used the incident as a feather in his cap, to showcase his leadership. However, recently it has come to light that the raid did not go down quite like the White House said, and that they may actually be covering up what really happened in Pakistan over four years ago.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Seymour Hersh is an award winning investigative journalist who broke the story of the My Lai massacre in 1968 during the Vietnam war as well as the prisoner abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in 2004. Now Hersh says that the account given by the White House is just a "story might have been written by Lewis Carroll."
His recent article was published in the London Review of Books on Sunday, and says that despite reports issued by the White House regarding how bin Laden was found, both Pakistani and White House officials knew where bin Laden was and cooperated in the incident that led to his death.
Hersh interviewed a senior U.S. intelligence official who went unnamed, who asserts that the 2011 raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad was not a raging gunfight between SEALs and terrorists, but essentially a prison, where Pakistani military officials had been holding the 9/11 mastermind for five years and only made him available to the U.S. in 2011. The only shots fired that night were from SEAL members killing bin Laden.
Hersh's article also alleges that there was no tip off to the CIA in Islamabad, and bin Laden was not found by following one of his couriers.
Hersh's story details that President Barack Obama and most of his senior advisers at the White House knew the whole truth behind the raid, and lied about almost everything in order to ensure a positive image for President Obama and create an image of a decisive president who could lead the American people.
