So, Seymour Hersh claims that Obama lied about killing bin Laden?

Is there nothing that isn’t fair game for a goddamn conspiracy theory nowadays?

ODS is one hell of a drug.

I went looking for something about this, and found this article from him. The second paragraph starts:

The most blatant lie was that Pakistan’s two most senior military leaders - General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, chief of the army staff, and General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, director general of the ISI - were never informed of the US mission. This remains the White House position despite an array of reports that have raised questions, including one by Carlotta Gall in the New York Times Magazine of 19 March 2014. Gall, who spent 12 years as the Times correspondent in Afghanistan, wrote that she’d been told by a ‘Pakistani official’ that Pasha had known before the raid that bin Laden was in Abbottabad.

Notice the bait and switch. First, he says that it’s a lie that Pakistan knew the US was going to go after bin Laden. Then his proof is that Pasha, director general of the ISI, knew that Obama was in Abbottabad. Not the same thing. Just knowing he was there doesn’t mean he knew about the raid.

And from Google news, the only two links so far about this are WND and the Hill.
