Lots of people are asking questions about why the story seems to change almost daily.
At first, Osama used a woman as a human shield and shot at the Seals... and then he didn't.
Then there was a furious shoot-out... now, only the courier even had a gun.
At first, the famous pins-and-needles picture of the "situation room" depicted administration officials witnessing the events unfold first-hand... and then they had no live video at all during the raid.
One major inconsistency I've seen no one else point out: there were no phone lines, no Internet and Bin Laden was so paranoid about electronic surveillance that he didn't trust computers, nor did he allow anyone to use one around him. So where did the "hard drives" and "computers" come from that Leon Penneta says Seal Team Six confiscated?
Don't get me wrong... I'm not one of these conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones who doesn't think they really got OBL in the raid. I don't believe the Obama administration is THAT deceitful. I do wonder why the administration can't seem to get their stories straight. I think it's probably more likely that they did not find any real intelligence on the raid, but want to be able to claim that information was gathered from sources other than Bush era interrogations.
Just conjecture on my part, but this is why it is said that if you tell the truth from the start, you don't have to worry about remembering what you said later.
