Others Dispute Sy Hersh

++Peter Bergen's bin Laden's biographer, a Naval Seal, Vox news site disputes Sy Hersh's account of the bin Laden raid.

++BUT no one is asking the question how bin Laden needed up at Pakistan's West Point in 2006 and managed to stay hidden or unrecognized until his death nearly 5 years later. It's like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar moved into your neighborhood and no one noticed for half a decade. 

++He just thought this would be the ideal location to hang out after the mountains?  After all it certainly is a safe neighborhood.

++Ed Kilgore reviews the critique of Sy's piece but Ed thinks it is about the headline that President Obama lied about the operation. The bottom-line is that he's dead. 

++With the exception of President Obama who said in the 2008 campaign that he would get him,no one else seemed to care. Remember when John McCain said he knew where he was in 2008?

++The mystery remains--where was bin Laden all the time W let him escape from Tora Bora? And how did Pakistan not know where he eventually went?
