Saw almost nothing on this in the media, other than the 60 Minutes segment last week.
Hersh is maintaining that there are numerous problems with the Bin Laden raid narrative, and proposes that, among other things:
1. The Pakistanis knew all about it and were complicit.
2. There was supposed to be a cover story to the effect that Bin Laden had been killed by a drone strike, to spare the Pakistanis embarrassment, but after the blackhawk crashed that had to be abandoned.
3. That the "compound" was actually a safe house run by the Pakistani intelligence service, and that the Saudis were paying the bills.
4. That Bin Laden was not "buried at sea" with due ceremony but rather uncermoniously dumped out of the helicopter.
Now, in what has become his usual manner, Hersh is not naming his sources as they are "in place". Also, his big stories in recent years have somewhat fallen flat; such as the one about our special forces sneaking around inside Iran and targeting nuclear facilities. (possible, even likely, but unproven so far as I know.)
I certainly wouldn't be amazed if the Pakistanis knew about Bin Laden's presence, and decided it would be more convenient to have him go away....
