Seymour Hersh Details Explosive Story on Bin Laden Killing & Responds to White House, Media Backlash

- democracynow.org - Four years after U.S. forces assassinated Osama bin Laden, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has published an explosive piece claiming much of what the Obama administration said about the attack was wrong. Hersh claims at the time of the U.S. raid, bin Laden had been held as a prisoner by Pakistani intelligence since 2006. Top Pakistani military leaders knew about the operation and provided key assistance. Contrary to U.S. claims that it located bin Laden by tracking his courier, a former Pakistani intelligence officer identified bin Laden’s whereabouts in return for the bulk of a $25 million U.S. bounty. Questions are also raised about whether bin Laden was actually buried at sea, as the U.S. claimed. Hersh says instead the Navy SEALs threw parts of bin Laden’s body into the Hindu Kush mountains from their helicopter. The White House claims the piece is "riddled with inaccuracies." Hersh joins us to lay out his findings and respond to criticism from government officials and media colleagues.

Hersh’s credibility is so superior to the USA government it’s not even close. Thanks Mr. Hersh for your honesty and integrity.
Well, any government for that matter. Based on Hersh's narrative of events it's understandable why the Obama administration had to come up with a story that would protect their sources and elements of the Pakistani government that the US relies on.

I thought Bin Ladin had bad kidneys and that is what killed him in 2002
Evidence highly suggests he died in December/ 01 from complications due to Marfan Syndrome while on dialysis. This so called "compound raid" is a big charade.
Got recommended this after his Nordstream report 🙌

Thanks for the truth,Mr. HERSH
Americans should start fact checking their government officials' news releases and comments awa their media
It's hard to do when they own the fact checkers
It will be easier to dismiss everything, then look for the few possible, maybe, details that might be true.
God, you people are such edgelord clowns lmao
Damn. This crap has been going on forever. I just always assumed that the narrative was always true.
@Gretchen K. Oh! I just found them. They have a CZcams channel. Check out the Seymour Hersh segment where he lays the case that the US took out the nordstream pipeline.

Good point.
They actually did.

Yeah, how can the US dare to kill OBL with the agreement of the Pakistani government, it's terrible.
Thank you so much for giving the truth 🙏 only recent found this channel , Seymour Hersh is one of the finest journalist , credible and reliable . Never knew the story of Bin Laden other then that the USA secret service midwifed and trained him and then he turned .
HERSH called me a couple of times when I volunteered some secret info to him. HERSH was a real journalist
Every word he said is true, it has been confirmed by the retired Pakistan intelligence agency chief
link?
Why would you trust him to tell the truth? Remember when one of the CIA bosses said something like: When all they believe is false, we have succeeded. I would not trust any person from any intelligence agency on any matter.
@klopek24 ummm I believe this is supposed to be satire. Do you believe any former head of the CIA that now works for main stream media as an expert or analyst when he speaks? NOBODY works a career in intelligence then retires then decides to tell the truth. Come on use that critical thinking God gave you. It seems like you were trying by asking for proof but I am betting you still believe one of these stories and that China floated a slow moving balloon across the country everyone could see to spy on us. Am I right?
LOL, that means nothing.
Oh the good old days when democracy now wasn't a tool of the establishment.
Good times.
Your kidding right? It has always been that way in EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT.
Compare the respect this Josh Earnest was afforded as WH Spokesman by the media present compared to the shameful way Sara Sanders is treated now.
Please cover Seymour’s latest piece on the Nord Stream pipeline attack
this just proved that we cannot believe whatever government says!
Hero of the truth and humanity. Thank you Mr. Hersh
What an investigative reporter! A true "needle in a haystack "
This was years ago , yet this man haven't given proof yet ?
So Seal team 6 raided a compound where Bin Laden was locked in a building by the Pakistan military with no guards? Wow, what a heroic raid. One of the many reasons I question if Bin Laden was even involved in 9/11.
He wasn't, 09/11 was carried out by our administration & Israeli agents to garner support for war & to pass the NDAA.
He was not involved. He was the patsy. The FBI put him on its most-wanted list for the USS Cole bombing --- not 9/11. It has been forgotten now, but the day after the WTC attacks, bin Laden while expressing sympathy for the hijackers' cause criticized their operation for killing innocent women and children, which he said went against the Koran. He suffered from Marfan's syndrome and probably died at Tora Bora from kidney failure, being unable to get dialysis. After December 2001, he was never seen in person, only in a couple of grainy videos in which the person identified as OBL looked nothing like OBL. That is why Bush famously said in 2005 or so that he was not concerned about catching bin Laden.
@framemaker52 100% true.
OBL was the fall guy he was never involved. OBL died in December 18th 2001
Noble prize … amazing fearless good human being exposes the truth love him …
where's the link to the remaining part of the interview?
This guy's is a super hero long live Hersh
The only thing you bury at sea is evidence. Lol
It was well understood that by that time OBL was not the operational head of AQ, that it was split between several of his lieutenants. That's not to say that killing OBL wasn't a political and symbolic victory, but it didn't really crimp AQ's style.
But all of this seems trite now, what with the instability in the Middle East and the resulting emergence of IS, which has resources that dwarfs anything AQ could scrape together. Ironic that AQ got what it wished for, only to find itself sidelined in the process.
I like his dry wit while being interviewed.
abukamoon what exactly is he spilling that’s bullshit?
All of those Seals were murdered shorty after. Look it up. They were sent into an active area and then deliberately picked up by an old out dated helicopter that got shot down and crashed.
All those seals are doing interviews which are on CZcams
Amazing how this has been hidden within the algorithm until now

And later seal teams died in a helicopter crash after this happened. Thank you Hilary and company.
I never believed that bin laden was put in the ocean
OBL is still alive. Seriously. That guy's way too valuable for the USA to have just killed him. It was then reported that there wasn't even a shot fired.
Not long after OBL was "captured/killed" the U.S.A suddenly has all of this Intel about future attacks and locations of HVT's...
They also said that they flew OBL out of Pakistan and into Affhanistan before they proceeded to fly his body to a warship in the Arabian Sea to be dumped. If this is true, which flight path did they take? Did they turn around and fly right back over Pakistan where there were allegedly jets scrambled due to the raid on OBL's compound. Either that, or they had to fly the body over IRAN to get to the Arabian Sea. I highly doubt that they did either one.
The most logical explanation is that we captured him and he is being detained in some Black Ops detention facility by the CIA where they are free to interrogate/torture him for information 24/7/365... And the only way they would be able to do that is if the public as a whole and other nations think he is dead. If the world knew that he was captured alive the U.S. Would have been pressured to put him on trial and therefore by law, would not be able to torture him for information.
Just my 2 cents... But I believe those 2 cents are worth a hell of a lot more than 2 cents!!
My Bin is Laden .. sorry...
This story was suppress so hard, I didn’t know.
He was the friend of a former CIA director. Why would they take him down?
That's what I think also. Alive and incognito...
Where can we find the original article?
You've got the body of the most wanted man in the history of mankind and you simply dump it into the sea ,instead of bringing it back ? Not even a head ,how they used to do in the past ? I know ,I know ,I'm stupid conspiracy theorist.
they were quite happy to show Saddam and Gaddafi though
Read my recent post up top before the cleaners come. They have been deleting them all day. I expose their lies. You are right to doubt their narrative.
Why do these fools in the United States Government think that any of us believe any of them anymore. Any semblance of leadership, integrity, and concern for the people is over, folks.
As italian I must apologize with JOURNALIST Seymour Hersh, for the position of an unknown journo named David Puente ( that works for a very strange organization called OPEN), that seems like he himself debunked Mr. Hersh report on the NORDSTREAM pipeline terrorist attack.
May God saves us from people like Puente and may God give us much more JOURNALISTS such as Mr. Hersh!
Thank you Mr. Hersh!
Seymour Hersh speaks the TRUTH, straight no nonsense talk. Yes, he is an honest journalist .
Lotta things left out of this report. Still this guy is opening the door.
I have actually heard the supposed trigger man tell 3 different stories.
he has been all over the map poor guy
Excellent coverage!
it’s amazing the little lies that get disclosed when reading memoirs of politicians and special forces operators.
I was suspicious the way he was disposed and the seal team that mysteriously was lost in a helicopter accident.
QUESTION: Didn't the SEALS meet with some dubious problem, killing many, after the OBL raid?
Great reporting
Buried at sea how convenient
Back when Democracy Now told the truth.
Even their title is deception. What country do they wish to establish democracy in? A democracy doesn't work for long. No country is governed by a pure democracy.
The United States is governed by a
Republic.
And twice I've pointed this out to the incompetents, and was ignored.
Any organization pretending to disimenate world news yet doesn't so much as know the government type of that globe's most influential country isn't to be trusted. By me anyway.
A while ago😉
They named the white house press secretary "Josh Ernest"? SERIOUSLY? Why not Fukue Sukme?
You can only trust guys like this if you invest time and attention to learn about pretty much everything he says publicly. Not just this story or the Nord Stream story but as much as you can find out. Then you can say with confidence how much credit you give him.
Personally I did this with the late Jim Marrs. When I first saw him speaking I was interested but not convinced. After years of watching his presentations and interviews and reading two of his books I came to the conclusion that he was honest, he was well researched, occasionally he seemed to believe something that I thought was not true (meaning he was told a lie that he believed, not that he was telling a lie) and sometimes his conclusions were not the same as mine. But in general he was definitely honest and intelligent and he actually did research and investigation.
Today im starting to look into Mr Hersh. If he looks bogus I should come to that conclusion fast but if not then maybe in a few months I will be back here saying how he is straight up legit.
I hope you all look into this too.
Anyway, life is interesting and I love this kind of "the government is lying" subject.
My awakening was initially brought on by Professor of Political Science John Mearshimer of Chicago University. Remarkably brave and experienced man.
I get that too but we as commoner serfs will never know the true extent of government secrecy and lies, I bet most of them don't know the TRUE extent as well.
@@neznykvet7472 Ive been watching a few videos of Mr Hersh about Bin Laden and he seems sincere and a legit journalist so far. I was worried that his Nord Stream story was some kind of scheme from either side of this war but now I have confidence that he is genuine and that the story is genuine too.
I didnt really doubt that America destroyed Nord Stream, I just wasnt sure if this guy was helping the truth or trying to muddy it in some clever way. Anyway I have ordered his book and now ill look into this Mearshimer guy too. thankyou for suggesting him.
Your heart must be full of you love the lying government stories.
@@alexc6324 you know that outside of the secret anonymous source most of what is verifiable in his article is false, like the Atlan class minesweeper in the Baltops, none were involved, and the P8 poseidon planes can't have dropped a sonobuoy on 26th September 2022, because they won't come into service before 2023. Same goes for his affirmation that Hens Stoltenberg is a Cia asset since Vietnam War, as Stoltenberg was 16 yo when Nam ended...
So the probability that Hersh story is bullshit is very high, even if he's sincère and believes it
And here i am in 2023, turns out to be true Mr Seymour.
And right now, it's Seymour Hersh who broke the story that the US destroyed the Nordstream pipeline. It looks like he's always had integrity
This ages well.
thank you
Yes, we always wondered why his body was not shown...
Wmd's... That's all we needed to hear and like Hersh, we go down the rabbit hole- and find the truth !!
Finally some of the truth comes out.
it is weird to hear that now. This would be top secret stuff.
SEYMOUR HERSH IS CORRECT ✅ WE ALWAYS NEW THEY DIDN’T CATCH HIM… AND IT’S NOT NICE TO BOAST THE KILLING OF ANOTHER HUMAN OR ANIMAL 😢💔🍂🌷
Al Qaeda boasted about killing 3000 people in the World Trade Center 🤷🏻♂️
There are many unanswered questions
So, last week’s Saudi assassination had similarity to an Obama era covert action where the Pakistanis and our SEALs killed Bin Ladin outside Islamabad,, mutilated his body, and cooked up a story about a “firefight” (which turned out to be brutal murder ) of an already dying Bin Ladin. Seymour Hirsch has written a book about it.
Bin Landen was not killed his a personal friend of Washington controllers and owners
@dedskin1, Always figured he was living with his Muslim brother Obama providing a how to kill Americans plan.
The host looks like a young Aaron Maté.
What a legend.
They clone them.
The bottom line ….. you cannot believe anything the Govt says.
As excellent as Seymour Hersh is as a journalist, he seems to frequently go off tangent in this interview. I have a quite hard time to pieces together a coherent story.
Read his article!
Hes a very fast thinker and talker! You just have to keep up or know the background more. Its a long story 10000 words n here its TV, time is the issue. Hes got to talk FAST.
@@JonAnthony3 , he's another professional communicator who doesn't professionally communicate verbally.
@@carmeniglesias1714 the point in his article on ns2 that are vérifiables, I.e. not from an anonymous source, are mostly false: no Atlan class minesweeper participated in Baltops22, the Norwegian p8 poseidon can't have dropped a sonobuoy on 26th of September 2022, as they won't enter service before 2023. And so is his affirmation that Jens Stoltenberg has been a cia assets since Vietnam, Stoltenberg was 16 when Nam ended, so his affirmation makes absolutely no sense
@@doofyler Sorry, but he is correct about our terrirrist attack until Russia and Germany is provided with all the materials that supposedly Norway and other countries re cooperated after the attacks. In addition to that a real investigation should conducted. One that as I said allows the losers (money) participate fully on how the evidence is handle. Whether this one or that one was born or not is irrelevant. If those mention as participants are really innocent 😇 I suggest they take Hersh to Court for Defamation, but I do not see anyone involved going to Court. When you are I get the evidence? I would start denouncing Hersh. In a Court Case All Evidence would have to be presented. Lets wait!
so they did not kill him or take his body into custody. My clue was all those idiots in that room not showing us the video, but spending their credibility. it is never as securely confirmed as when there is an official denial. maybe that is the case with confirmations too.
I notice - not only Hersh's calm, factual demeanor - but the absence of irritating and rude interruptions from the news anchor.
They gave him "traditional islamic burial" , tossed him over a ship
First tell a lie. Then get someone like Seymour to tell a different lie. That way the truth will never be revealed.
The real story is what Bin ladin said on his computer about 9-11.
If the intelligence community says Hersh is wrong, I guess that's the end of it then
What a circus the media and America government is. The world needs people like Hersh.
Thank you Mr Hersh
I don't believe the official narrative one bit but there is one aspect of Hersh's story that I can't iron out and that is the need for the raid if the Pakistanis knew that the US knew that OBL was their prisoner. Hersh writes: "At one point that spring, Pasha offered the Americans a blunt explanation of the reason Pakistan kept bin Laden's capture a secret..." If this is true then the raid is a ruse because the Pakistanis could have just given him up to the US. But the raid could not have been just for show because for Hersh the raid itself was supposed to be kept quiet? This doesn't make sense unless "at one point that spring" means after the raid.
What about telling a lie about a lie? There were rumors that OBL had kidney issues. What if they just never found him and made up this story to kill off his ghost? But then why would Seymour Hersh need to bring it back up? Unless there is a need to show that the entire 911 event was a series of lies.
I never heard that Saddam Hussein even had nuclear weapons. He had WMD's, but they were chemical weapons, developed in part with German Chemical Engineer's, which he had no reservations, to use, when it came to the Kurd's.
Less than four hours to hit Europe we were told remember that scare.
Just a reminder that the day where we lost the most servicemen in Afghanistan, and the worst day in Navy Seal history, were the same day. 15 of the Seal Team Six members that were there for Bin Laden were killed in a helicopter crash, just three months after Bin Laden was allegedly killed.
It makes you think.
Aaron Mate is on Democracy Now?
I did not know that.
WHAAAT? 7 years ago?
How did I miss this???
😆
This whistleblower said that was why seal team 6 was set up to be shot down
They were shot down and that was covered up at the time because they could not have them popping up someday to say the raid was a lie and it was not Bin Laden at the compound ( if they even really went there).
Read my posts up top before the take them down again for the fourth time today.
They could easily have taken him alive but didn't...WHY🤔
Imagine how many interesting things he knew about the ops in Afghanistan in the 80s, or what actually went down on 9/11
Bin Laden would have been the biggest intelligence coup ever alive. Taking him back to the USA essential.
The sea burial I did not believe and was totally ridiculous.
Maybe because he knew too much.
Same with Oswald.
Great commentary
In a truly free nation, if a person is accused they must be proven guilty, and if their government is accused it must be proven innocent.
These people don't believe that, this dude is reaching like crazy, we have videos after videos about the Killing of Bin Laden but this guy say no it didn't happen like that, yet he haven't shown one piece of evidence for his story if if this or maybe this.
