More accurate version of what happened includes details that bin Laden first emerged on third floor, retreated to bedroom after shot fired

(CBS News)

WASHINGTON - A new picture emerged Thursday of what really happened the night the Navy SEALs swooped in on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.

CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the 40 minutes it took to kill bin Laden and scoop his archives into garbage bags were all recorded by tiny helmet cameras worn by each of the 25 SEALs.

Officials reviewing those videos are still reconstructing a more accurate version of what happened. We now know that the only firefight took place in the guest house, where one of bin Laden's couriers opened fire and was quickly gunned down. No one in the main building got off a shot or was even armed, although there were weapons nearby.

The SEALs first saw bin Laden when he came out on the third floor landing. They fired, but missed. He retreated to his bedroom, and the first SEAL through the door grabbed bin Laden's daughters and pulled them aside.

Special Report: The Killing of Osama bin Laden

Also video with full story at link.

The military people were just doing their job, but the blood lust among arm chair war hawks is disturbing.

Or she will anyway, give her writers a day or two.

I was responding to the original post, which has changed.

Hi def, mostly bulletproof...what's not to like......


c

There was one armed person in the guest house which they made short order of.

You know, just to be fair.

the meme about letting him get a gun is silly.

Twin Towers. Killed some waiters and busboys, too..

I wish there was a helmet cam showing him on fire jumping from the 50th floor of some doomed building somewhere.

Kinda like Xtreme sports gone rogue.

He really should have turned himself in at the swedish community center, or swiss consulate if he was interested in having any kind of trial......

Or, he should have picked up the fucking gun and had at it.

I won't apologize for feeling he got off a fuck of a lot better than a lot of his victims - suicide bombers, Jihadists and straight up murder victims alike.

I am glad they killed him. He got off lucky as many on the planes & in those towers were put through PURE HELL for over an hour in some cases before they died!

:P
