Osama Bin Laden death: Seymour Hersh says what the White House says is 'one big lie'

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published a 10,000-word story on the 2011 killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden that differs starkly with the official version of events.

Among the main assertions in the report from Seymour Hersh is that the U.S. learned of Bin Laden's whereabouts from a walk-in to the CIA station at the U.S. embassy in Islamabad.

Hersh states that in August of 2010, a former senior Pakistani intelligence officer offered the information in exchange for the $25 million dollar reward the U.S. posted in 2001.

U.S. and Pakistan intelligence officials originally agreed to concoct a story that Osama bin Laden had been killed in a drone strike on the Afghanistan side of the border. The plan was to announce the killing one week after the raid and report that DNA gathered from the drone strike confirmed the killing.
