Other reporting has corroborated some of Hersh's reporting, but not all of it. In the article you've posted, for instance: > I cannot confirm Hersh’s bolder claims — for example, that two of Pakistan’s top generals, Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the former army chief, and Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the director of the ISI, had advance knowledge of the raid. But I would not necessarily dismiss the claims immediately. Here's a roundup from the Columbia Journalism Review that criticizes the mainstream press for being so dismissive of Hersh's story: https://www.cjr.org/analysis/seymour_hersh_osama_bin_laden.php https://www.cjr.org/analysis/seymour_hersh_osama_bin_laden.p... Here's a less pro-Hersh roundup by the NYMag, on the topic of whether Hersh's account should be trusted: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/05/how-solid-is-this-story-on-the-bin-laden-raid.html http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/05/how-solid-is-th... But AFAIK, the main claims haven't been "proven" or disproven. Though I think most people agree that the initial accounts, including the August 2011 New Yorker story [0] (which was not by Hersh) and "Zero Dark Thirty", have had worthwhile questions raised about their veracity. If you want a deep dive on the topic, this October 2015 NYT story is one of the longer that I've read. Not sure what's changed since then: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/magazine/what-do-we-really-know-about-osama-bin-ladens-death.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/magazine/what-do-we-reall...
