be withholding details of the famous May 2011
raid that ended with the death of the 9/11
mastermind.
BY ADAM EDELMAN / NEW YORK DAILY N
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh
contends the 2011 U.S. Navy Seals raid that
resulted in the killing of 9/11 mastermind Osama
bin Laden is one big lie.
Not one word of it is true," Hersh told The
Guardian newspaper in an interview meant to
drum up publicity for his new book about national
security.

An undated file photo shows of Osama bin
Laden, who was killed in May 2011 after U.S.
Navy Seals raided his compound in Pakistan.
The book, still untitled, will reportedly include a
chapter on the May 2011 raid by U.S. forces on
Bin Ladens Abbottabad, Pakistan
compound an account Hersh claims hasnt
been appropriately looked into by journalists.

"The Pakistanis put out a report, don't get me
going on it. Let's put it this way, it was done
with considerable American input. It's a b------t
report, he said.
The book will also discuss Hershs view that the
U.S. media hasnt committed enough resources
to investigative journalism.

media 'is afraid to pick on this guy (President
Obama).'

Its pathetic, they are more than obsequious,
Hersh said of the American media. They are
afraid to pick on this guy (Obama).
"It used to be when you were in a situation when
something very dramatic happened, the president
and the minions around the president had control
of the narrative, you would pretty much know
they would do the best they could to tell the story
straight, he said.
Now that doesn't happen anymore. Now they
take advantage of something like that and they
work out how to re-elect the president.
