Bin Laden: The Story Changed

When Steve first posted "Osama Bin Laden is Dead", I wasn't sure if he was joking or not...he's like that. So the investigative reporter in me immediately googled it to see what the internet was saying at that moment. It confirmed what Hurricane said, Osama was dead. He'd been dead a week and Osama was about to confirm it by DNA.

I know I wasn't dreaming and was not the only one who heard or saw the original reports...they said "LAST WEEK"... here is the text, copied from the other night, as reported by The Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks against the United States, is dead, and the U.S. is in possession of his body, a person familiar with the situation said late Sunday.

President Barack Obama was expected to address the nation on the developments Sunday night.

Two senior counterterrorism officials confirmed that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan last week. One said bin Laden was killed in a ground operation, not by a Predator drone. Both said the operation was based on U.S. intelligence, and both said the U.S. is in possession of bin Laden’s body...The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak ahead of the president.

The number of links to any information regarding a seven day delay or the method of his demise in the reporting of Bin Laden's death is rapidly shrinking...or have been edited from their original versions to a boilerplate version of the story with no mention of him being killed a week earlier...
