"So what do I think is true? I believe that a walk-in Pakistani intelligence officer provided the information on bin Laden and that the Pakistanis were indeed holding him under house arrest, possibly with the connivance of the Saudis. I am not completely convinced that senior Pakistani generals colluded with the U.S. in the attack, though Hersh makes a carefully nuanced case and Obama’s indiscreet comment is suggestive. I do not believe any material of serious intelligence value was collected from the site and I think accounts of the shootout were exaggerated. The burial at sea does indeed appear to be a quickly contrived cover story. And yes, I do think Osama bin Laden is dead." Giraldi

PBS FRONTLINE had a story last night on the background and issuance of the Senate report on the CIA program that it calls TORTURE. That show also has the Senate report [never release verbatim] concluding that the WH and CIA and Hollywood version [Zero Dark Thirty directed by Kathryn Bigelow] basically HOKUM!
That show scheduled to be rebroadcast several times this week.
