There are a number of strange circumstances surrounding the recently reported killing of Osama bin Laden that just don’t “add up”. I don’t want to make this a long post, so here are the five foremost things that stick out in my mind (in no particular order):
He was instantly killed – not captured. It seems they would have wanted to question him, at the very least.
His body was swiftly dumped in the ocean, instead of buried. The reasons given for this are either inaccurate (concerning Muslim beliefs) or nonsensical.
The spontaneous cheering crowds of people, right afterwards. They assembled in front of the White House and “Ground Zero”, but no where else. Major networks were ready to capture the jubilant gatherings almost immediately, late on a Sunday night.
The administration says they will not release photos or video of the operation, the bodies, or the funeral. The reasons given make no sense, and it goes against the transparency that the administration claimed it would practice.
The announcement was made during a time when the President’s birth certificate was the subject of widespread scrutiny and discussion. After a week of increasingly suspicious revelations and probing questions in the public realm about the origin of the birth certificate that he finally released, it’s very fortuitous for the President this this has distracted everyone.
