    Good point. Still, the whole thing is super fucking shady though. You mean to tell me not one of those wet work seal goons didn't pose for a selfie with the body? Also you'd think the most notoriously wanted man of the 21st century wouldn't have been blasted all over the airwaves, even a censored photo?

      That happened with Saddam and it's generally seen as a bad thing by pretty much everyone who isn't a deranged psycho who enjoys watching death. So I can absolutely imagine that they went to great lengths to avoid a repeat in this case.

      Plus, the raid exposed the existence of a then-unknown stealthy Blackhawk helicopter. Explain the logic behind that trade-off, if the killing of OBL was faked in some way.

        Has anything changed much with the world knowing about the helicopter now?
