As the story began to unfold, media covered it by adding to the guessing game. Some was corrected the next day but that doesn't seem good enough for Joshua Holland. who claims that the Obama administration is pushing 9 deceptions. There is one point that Mr. Holland seems to miss and that main point is that Osama is dead. As a journalist, he should be aware that how everything was done must first protect the Seals. Apparently there is much we haven't heard about. Where did the over 20 children go and to whom did they all belong. Osama's 3rd wife was there and identified his body. What happened then to her? What has happened to all the people protecting Osama. Has Pakistan taken responsibility? If so, why since these people were being protected by someone in Pakistan.
To save the secrecy of the Stealth Helicopter, it had to be blown up. Do we know what else has to be kept quiet for security's sake? The public's right to know', it seems was satisfied when they received news that later was even verified by Osama's own people...that he is dead. That satisfies me for the moment. I don't see that any Geneva Conventions were broken. If they were, we will undoubtedly hear about it. We also heard about many guesses from people. When media people guess on live media, it is hard to remember what is truth and someone's imagination.
It would please me greatly to hear more facts and less speculation. Guessing accurately has never seemed to make a journalist the best in his/her trade, that I have heard. Why is it so important to Joshua Holland to accuse the administration of deception being behind every change of the story being made public is trying to protect security. Is every change when new information was reported an administrative deception? When more opportunity for more briefing has happened, isn't it logical to have some corrected 'facts'.
