Well, from the shocked look on Hilary's face, I think it must be a pornographic movie. - They will never tell that it was, even if asked.
Quite possible. Those security tapes at the WH must be good for
something
Story so far:
1) There was a firefight.
2) There was no firefight.
3) Bin Laden was “resisting.”
4) Bin Laden wasn’t armed. (Makes the concept of “resisting” interesting.)
[4.a) And the newest one: the SEALS thought bin Laden was reaching for a weapon.]
5) He used his wife as a shield.
6) His wife was killed too.
7) He didn’t use his wife as a shield. She ran at a SEAL who shot her in the leg, but she’s fine.
8 ) Some other woman — the maid? — was used as a shield. By somebody. Downstairs.
9) That other woman — downstairs — was killed.
10) Maybe not. She was killed unless she wasn’t — and who was she, anyway?
11) Bin Laden’s son was killed.
12) Unless it was some other guy.
13) Bin Laden’s daughter saw him get killed. She’s undoubtedly traumatized, poor dear.
14) They were going to capture Bin Laden until the problem with the helicopter, which was:
A) It had mechanical trouble
B) It did a hard landing
C) It crashed
D) It clipped a wall with a tail rotor, effectively a crash
15.) They were never going to try to capture him; it was always a kill mission.
16.) No, it wasn’t.
17) The chopper blew up.
18) The SEALs blew it up.
19.) Panetta said yesterday the world needed proof and the photo would be released.
20.) Obama said today in an interview he taped with Steve Kroft for “60 Minutes” to be broadcast Sunday that it won’t be released. It’s too gruesome, would offend Muslim sensibilities (something he worries about a lot — I personally do not give a warm fart on a wet Wednesday about Muslim sensibilities), and how would Americans feel if Muslims released pictures of dead Americans?
21.) Kroft — who’s not a total idiot — pointed out that ever since “Black Hawk Down” days, Muslims have been doing precisely that, filming American bodies being dragged through the streets, filming Daniel Pearl’s head being cut off, filming any and everything.
22) Obama gets pissed at CBS, the tape gets cleaned up, that question disappears. (Inside info.)
23.) We got a “treasure trove” of stuff from hard drives, etc.
24.) There were no phone lines, and no internet access at the “mansion,” they didn’t even have TV — what “treasure trove?”
25.) There is obviously in the pictures of the place a large satellite dish. I guess they used it for making salads.
26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked. There was a suspicion he might be wearing a suicide bomber type explosive vest, or belt. So if he’s not naked and you can’t see if he has a vest on or not – shoot him.

And one more thrown in just for Ripley's Believe it or not
"In the White House Situation Room on Sunday night, the president and his national security team watched a soundless video feed of the raid," eminent author and journalist Bob Woodward wrote in The Washington Post, bringing to light several unknown aspects of the covert US operation that killed Osama on May 2.
Woodward also wrote how Laden was measured for his height after he was shot dead by the Navy SEALs.
"When bin Laden's corpse was laid out, one of the Navy SEALs was asked to stretch out next to it to compare heights.
The SEAL was 6 feet tall. The body was several inches taller," he said.
"After the information was relayed to Obama, he turned to his advisers and said: "We donated a USD 60 million helicopter to this operation. Could we not afford to buy a tape measure?" the report said.
Okay just one teeny one more:
As a CIA safe house kept a close watch on the activities of this building, they found one tall man walking in the courtyard, which was later nicknamed "pacer", who never left the compound.
"His routine suggested he was not just a shut-in but almost a prisoner," it said.
At some point the White House sought the services of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to determine the pacer's height.
The agency came back and reported that the height of the pacer was
between five-foot-eight and six-foot-eight.

And that I think is all there is to it.
On this upbeat note, I think, we can all close this chapter.
