SEAL Team 6 in conjunction with the CIA, not just the CIA, not just the SEALs but both...toss in the Army helicopter pilots for good measure. Its not a matter of the story changing...its a matter of waiting for the facts. Last night was another illustration on how the media can get ahead of itself in reporting a story. First, it was the CIA raid was last week, reported by Fox and CNN. But when the story is "officially" released, its a raid on Sunday run by SEAL Team 6 with the assistance of the CIA and the Army.
And for those of you whining about the 'quick' disposal of the body.....Muslim beliefs, the body must be buried within 24 hours of death, and burial at sea is allowed. In other words, even in the death of this monster, the United States took his faith into account.edit on 2-5-2011 by vipertech0596 because: added
if they wait for the facts then how can they come back and claim the story is changing?

Wouldn't you want to have the story submitted when the facts are in? Not say one thing about a CIA op, then two hours later claim it was the SEALS?
The point is, the alleged " facts " weren't in, thats how the story changed dramatically in 2 hours.

The SEALS operate under the Joint chiefs. Not the CIA. I may be mistaken, but if the CIA was involved in any way, the SEALS would not have been used.

What do you know, the FBI finally put a DECEASED under Usama's most-wanted picture today. Only 9 years and 4 months late, but he was never WANTED for 911 was he? Wonder why? Surely 9+ years is enough time to find or manufacture the necessary evidence.

It's been pointed out ad nauseum that it's not the FBI that declares what suspects are charged with on the Ten Most Wanted list. It's the grand jury, which files the actual charges. The US gov't has said from day one that they wanted to try Bin Laden in a military court (becuase theyc an keep the proceedings secret) rather than through a grand jury (becuase everything would be made public).
On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, “How this was possible?” Tomb continued, “Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11.” I asked, “How does that work?” Tomb continued, “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11.”
Bin Laden was a suspect in a number of terrorist attacks around the world in addition to the 9/11 attacks.

Just to clear that up, they haven't charged him in connection to 911 as there is no evidence connecting him to that event. It has nothing to do with keeping the proceedings "secret" and everything to do with absolutely no evidence, not 1 single piece of hard evidence, connecting him.
Other than that I pretty much agree with most of what you have said in this thread.

It was inevitable that truthers would be frothing at the mouth having got it wrong again. They have been saying for years OBL was dead and all the videos and audio fake. Not going to let that go easily.
Over the next few days I predict that it will become obvious to anyone with an open mind that he has just been killed. Al Jazeera are already reporting threats of reprisal from al-Qaeda and the Taliban :-

How does Obama organize that ?
