ha! What do you consider to be a first hand account?
The evidence hasn't been publicly released, as you've said.

Kathryn, do you believe the many military individuals involved...are lying?
That this whole thing was an elaborate ruse involving the honorable men and women of our armed forces?
Really? Is that what you believe? If, perchance, your own husband had been involved in such an operation, would he look you in the eye and lie about it?
Kathryn
It was on fire when I laid down on it.
First of all, let me tell you my belief and position on the upper echelons of ANY military, including the US military: I believe those positions are often as much a political as they are a military position and assignment.
My father and my ex husband were/are both officers in the US military. My exhusband is a high ranking officer. Both are combat veterans. I can ASSURE you that they are not at liberty to discuss some details of their missions, and that they also have both implied repeatedly that there are often coverups, and often quite a bit of political intrigue involved. War is messy business at best, in spite of the ideals of honor and glory.
As for the many members of my immediate family who are actively serving in the US military, they might not look me directly in the eye and lie about something, but they have often told me that they simply cannot discuss certain missions. And they have also often followed up a comment or an answer to a question by shrugging and saying something along the lines of, "Well, that's the official version of what happened anyway."
In spite of my generally high regard for the ideals of our military men and women, and their role in our national security, I am not naive.
Secondly, I may have missed something, but I have yet to hear a single statement made by any military personnel who were actually involved directly in that mission.

And you probably won't. Their identities are classified. I'd be real surprised if they showed up on tv, or had their names released.
Apparently OBLs Wife told the Pakistani Gvt that they have been in that house for five years and confined to just one room,gets more embarassing by the hour.

Haroon Rashid BBC News, Rawalpindi
A senior Pakistani military official said they detained Bin Laden's three wives: one is Yemeni but they did not identify the other two. They also recovered 13 children from the compound - two girls and 11 boys - but they have not yet been able to establish how many are Bin Laden's children.
The Yemeni wife told investigators she came out of the room after five years and that her husband lived there for the same period. She also told them she was shot in the raid and lost consciousness; at that point, Bin Laden was alive. His daughter, however, has confirmed Bin Laden was shot in front of her.

He must have been aided and sheltered by some officials,5 years is a longtime,
Ah i didn't say Government,i would suspect it to be individuals who either have sympathy for his cause or like a healthy Bank balance.
