There has been much speculation and pontificating in the news about Seymour Hersh's article about the real facts surrounding the killing of Osama Bin Laden. The White House has claimed that Hersh's article is full of inaccuracies and mistatements, and their claim was the lead story on NBC news tonight.
Hersh's article is currently available at the website of the London Review of Books. I have read it, and I suggest that the best course for anyone interested in the issue is to read it for themselves and make their own judgements about it. Here is a direct link to the story:

I'll go into some details about the article and relevant matters below the fold.
