Peter Bergen, CNN: The New York Times' bizarre story on Osama bin Laden's death

(CNN)The New York Times is the greatest newspaper in the world, so when the current cover story in the Times magazine is headlined, "What Do We Really Know about Osama bin Laden's Death?," readers are surely going to pay attention.

The story was of particular interest because we actually know a great deal about bin Laden's death, not only from three books written by participants in the operation -- one of the U.S. Navy SEALs who was on the raid and the two top CIA officials who led the hunt for al Qaeda's leader -- but also from many news articles about the operation written by reporters working for The New York Times.

Anything that might add to the hundreds of thousands of words that are already on the public record about bin Laden's death would, of course, be of great interest to the American public and, indeed, to people around the world.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction .... decades from now the debate on how Osama Bin laden was killed will still be discussed.
