Those are some pretty big claims, have any evidence to back them up?

  The less evidence and the more faith involved, the more captivating the conspiracy theory. That's how they work.

  The only thing that lends credibility to the story in the post you're responding to is the person who's claiming it's the truth. Seymour Hersh [1] has enough of a track record that we shouldn't dismiss it out of hand. As far as evidence goes, I'm not sure the official story has been proven any more than Hersh's story has, so it's hard to know what to believe.

  This IIRC is essentially the story reported by investigative journalist Sy Hersh, relying on unnamed sources. See here for the full read: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour-m-hersh/the-killing-of-osama-bin-laden http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour-m-hersh/the-killing-of-...

  Thank you! Ok I remember when that story broke but I didn't read the details. Seymour Hersh is such a respected and renowned journalist who has a track record for revealing exactly this stuff. But the lack of openness in the sources is disquieting. But the story is so odious and so serious, I suspect there are no sources that could weather the storm regardless.
