An example: Where does it say the two shots were "to the face", "from SEALs," or there were "2 gun shot wounds." It's easy to fill in blanks with poorly written articles.

"with a hole visible on the right side of his head"
"Blood and brains spilled out of the side of his skull”
Maybe you're right, they shot him in the leg causing blood/brains and a visible hole in his head...
MHO is that the public doesn't need to know all the details. These men work in secrecy for a reason (what Matt B. blabs about is a whole 'nother story). As I said earlier, the fucker is dead. Move on.
ETA: One minute you're saying the article is NOT AMBIGUOUS, then you say it's easy to fill in the blanks because it's poorly written. Which is it?

As to your last question, and whether there is ambiguity, and having read several other interpretations of this from other people on other sites, I stand by my analysis that the article is poorly written. It *could* be interpreted as a SEAL having done the shooting, but that rquires the same level of inference (read ASSumption) as my initial read. So, it is ambiguous. I was wrong about that. But I won't suck your dick if that's what you are looking for. And here's why:
With with "a" (singular) hole visible on the "right side of his head" (i.e. not in his face) and shit spilled out from the "side" (not the back) of his skull, how does anyone get two shots to the face and two wounds, much less that a SEAL fired the shot? ASSumption.
And with that, I'm done here.
Maybe I need more sleep because this thread has devolved into the laughable for me.
We're bickering over a poorly written article about a book which shouldn't exist, authored by a guy naive enough to think he'd remain anomymous and who admittedly did not see the shooting?

I agree.
I will not support sellouts like the author of this book, or anything written by Thomas Greer (AKA "Dalton Fury"
) or anyone of their ilk.
Good point. Reminds me of a sig line on another site, to paraphrase: "This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Lets not bicker over who killed who."
I know you're new here, but that's not necessary and not appropriate for the kinds of conversations we're trying to have on the site.
PM sent.
Lots of news agencies are now coming out with articles that say: "Obama account of bin Laden death contradicts that of SEAL memoir".
Scumbags are always looking for fuel for the fire.

So it's just a piece of crap Michael Bay film without any redeeming value?
That's good information, I'm saving my money.

I don't agree; because a failed but partially exploded VBIED was found in Times Square. Wasn't recycled endlessly, didn't shut anything down for more than few hours.
This is probably an effective way to deal with this kind of thing, keep writers and publishers (and movie producers) from profiting from their misdeeds:

What do you think would happen if an IED took out a semi truck on I-95 tomorrow?
One of the first things you learn in Political Science is that war is politics.
What a load of shit. It's about commemorating 9/11? Give me a fucking break. Also, I love how 60 Minutes tries to turn him into a victim at the end by talking about how his real name was published so he's now a marked man and probably in hiding forever. Well fucking guess what dude? That's what you fucking get for selling out your brothers to make some fucking cash and then trying to wrap yourself in the cloak of patriotism and remembrance. The more about this guy that comes out, the more I dislike him.

I equated Act of Valor to Thin Red Line, a movie that should have been really good but turned out to be crap with one or two good fight scenes.
