My Comment: This is probably spin .... and subsequent briefings are not clear on what happened ....but it is still a good story. What is my take .... 22 were either killed, wounded, or captured in this operation .... and in the confusion that followed .... who can really say with accuracy on what happened. What may change everything is if the soldiers themselves had video recording equipment that recorded all of their moves and actions. If that is the case, we will then know what Bin Laden did in his last few moments of life. But something tells me that even if this operation was recorded .... and I believe that it was .... I will never live long enough to see it.
