Here’s a good Mother Jones piece that argues we still don’t know what really what happened on that raid. An excerpt:

Lots of praise flowed in early August for Nicholas Schmidle’s riveting story in The New Yorker of the SEALs’ raid on bin Laden’s compound. It added many vivid details to what was publicly known about the death of America’s arch-nemesis in early May. But Schmidle’s exquisitely crafted reconstruction also contradicted previous reporting elsewhere and sparked some intriguing questions of its own.
It underscored what we still don’t really know about the operation. Schmidle’s depiction of the tense scene in the White House situation room, as President Obama and his top advisers monitored the action with the help of a military drone, included a notable refutation. The SEALs converged at the ground floor of bin Laden’s house and began to enter, Schmidle reported, but:
What happened next is not precisely clear. I can tell you that there was a time period of almost twenty to twenty-five minutes where we really didn’t know just exactly what was going on, [CIA chief Leon] Panetta said later, on PBS NewsHour. Until this moment, the operation had been monitored by dozens of defense, intelligence, and Administration officials watching the drone’s video feed. The SEALs were not wearing helmet cams, contrary to a widely cited report by CBS.
Schmidle was referring to a May 12 story by veteran CBS News national security correspondent David Martin headlined, “SEAL helmet cams recorded entire bin Laden raid.“
The contradiction has big implications. Martin’s own story was in part a response to the famously mutating account from the Obama White House in the days following the mission. The administration had attributed its multiple revisions to “the fog of war” after backtracking from claims that bin Laden had engaged the SEALs in a firefight and used his wife as a human shield. Martin’s piece stated he was putting forth “a new picture of what really happened” in Abbottabad; he reported that “the 40 minutes it took to kill bin Laden and scoop his archives into garbage bags were all recorded by tiny helmet cameras worn by each of the 25 SEALs. Officials reviewing those videos are still reconstructing a more accurate version of what happened.”
Such footage obviously could go a long way toward a precise account. According to Schmidle’s New Yorker piece, though, it doesn’t exist.

I wonder what would happen if the “real” story does more to advance the story that President Obama’s policies are near carbon-copies of President Bush’s policies. Will the media really take the time to point out the hypocrisy of the Democratic party line? Doubtful.
