US version of Osamas death-not true

mapuc · 05-11-15, 02:25 PM

Via a Swedish news page I found this English article by Seymour M. Hersh

http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour...sama-bin-laden

Quote:

The most blatant lie was that Pakistan’s two most senior military leaders – General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, chief of the army staff, and General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, director general of the ISI – were never informed of the US mission

To be honest, I don't know what to believe. Is US version the right one or is Seymour right in his accusation ?

I'm not surprised. Pakistan's intelligence services are incredibly shady and have a very unstraightforward role in all of this. In many ways, I also feel that they've been manipulating the situation with Al Quaeda and Taliban, drone strikes and Chinese interests, and other happenings on their territory for a while to advance their own powers. Managing tensions and playing both sides at the same time.
