Note that the former head of Pakistani intelligence, Asad Durrani, whose country housed Bin Laden when Seal Team Six did the dispatch - has the same story that Hersh does. None of these things seem particularly unbelievable. Having researched a number of National Security issues intensely (eg Syria) this all fairly believable. That's just his "lowlights". His publication record thus far has been nothing short of impressive. And, really, you can't imbue anybody with too much faith that they only report absolute objective truths. I don't think even Hersh would recommend that. Certainly this interview he suggests that he doesn't report on a lot of stuff because he isn't sure if it's CIA smoke and mirrors. Compare this to cable television, which gets the narrative wrong almost constantly, and dumbs everything down so that it lacks substance.
