The parties who were really involved in the events are sworn to secrecy. Only the Seals know who they were. And they aren't talking about it. Who knows whether this is really what happened?
We don't even know for sure who killed Kennedy.
Somebody writes a book about the attack on Bin Laden using a pseudonym. Who knows whether it is true?
And if it is, what difference does it make whether Bin Laden killed himself or was killed by the Seals? Either way, assuming this book to be a true account, Bin Laden would have survived had the Navy Seals not been ordered to enter the compound.
The book appears to be either imagination or self-aggrandizement. The fact is that whether the book is true or not, the Seals could not and would not, without the order of the President and Commander-in-Chief have flown to the compound much less entered it.
