Assuming that any of the facts of the recent Bin Laden killing are accurate - which is a huge assumption - here is my hypothesis about what actually happened and what it all means:
The shooters were specifically ordered to shoot Bin Laden in the head and dump his body in the sea.
Why do I think this?
1. Navy SEALs follow orders. They don't make them up as they go along
2. SEALs are extremely good combat shooters.
If they shot him in the face and not the body mass from the very short range within the house, it's because they were told to do that. This was not a confused firefight carried out over long distances. After all, what they essentially did - now that the "facts" are getting out - is that they shot an unarmed man in his bedroom.
3. The bizarre and highly unorthodox decision to thrown Bin Laden's body in the sea clearly came from the top and was not improvised on the scene.
4. CIA chief Leon Panetta stated the other day that the US ordered that Bin Laden be killed, not captured as originally reported.
I strongly doubt that either the Navy or even the White House specified this manner of killing and body disposal.
So who was driving this bus?
This has CIA written all over it.
