> Hersh has pointed out that he was in no way suggesting that Osama bin Laden was not killed in Pakistan, as reported, upon the president's authority: he was saying that it was in the aftermath that the lying began

Addressing only the quote itself is unfair, as again that does not represent his actual argument.

I'm done with this.
