@SIATD v2

It’s a good thing my argument was a whole lot more subtle that the strawman you’ve just attempted to blow down.

I did not mean to misconstrue. I read your statement about vindication several times and that’s all I could make of it.

Develop more subtlety in your thinking.

@SIATD v2

My argument is that given the near-total shroud of secrecy concerning ALL the evidence that there should be about this raid and how ‘Bin Laden’ was identified but the magnitude of the CIA and DOD efforts to help this film get made that you’d have to be a fool to believe them. If I told you an event had happened, but provided no evidence, and then spent a lot of time and money helping the production of a Hollywood film depicting that event, completely contradicting my secrecy regarding any actual evidence for my claims, you’d be justified in suspecting I was a shyster.

Completely. I don’t trust them. If I think that some of what happened in Zero Dark Thirty is probably accurate, it wouldn’t be because I trust the CIA. I also don’t trust all the people pushing their own stories of what went down, who give the feeblest of support, or none at all, and expect everyone to “wake up” and see the obvious truth of their claims.

Fine. But I’m not one of those people. If you want evidence for my claims then I’ll give it to you.

@SIATD v2

I don’t have access to the evidence. The CIA does. They refuse to release it. I dunno why the burden of proof should be on me to show conclusively that this institution of pathological liars is lying about this.

You have no burden of proof unless you make claims like “[Osama bin Laden] was dead for almost the entire period the film covers.” For the rest of what you said, I take no issue and agree with some things. I am also deeply skeptical of what the U.S. government and CIA sell to the public.

Bin Laded almost certainly wasn’t alive in May 2011 to be killed in that house in Abbottabad.

@Moreno

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but the convenient deaths in that helicopter crahs of half of ‘the team that killed Bin Ladin’ should be included in on any Occam’s Razor look at the coincidences and gaps in the official story.

Another one bit the dust a month ago:

I’m guessing it’s more than half of them by now. Their survival rate is extremely poor.

I’ll throw in a nod to the recent coen brother comedy

burn after reading

just loved it.

And it is a kind of conspiracy movie, just to show I am on topic with the digression even here. Or perhaps and anti-conspiracy movie. Utterly absurd and probably close to what has actually happened.

There aren’t enough intelligent spy comedies, but Burn After Reading is extremely silly yet extremely believable. I’m sure some intelligence ops do go down like that.
