Has US spin discredited them in respect of Bin Laden's death?

I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. The report has been consistent with detail added not change. The only error made was an attempt to satisfy the media`s desire for immediate information. Other`s ideas of how it should or should not have been done are irrelevant as others could not have done it. If there is any doubt just look at the pathetic performance of Britain, France and Italy in Libya. The western world is faced with major problems that must be addressed. Viewing a video of the death of a rat is of no value and only an avoidance of the real problems faced. The potential bankruptcy of Britain, the U.S. and others must be addressed. Governments cannot continue to spend and convert everyone`s want into a must have. In the U.S. 51% of households pay 0 in income taxes. Politicians resort to class warfare in able to buy votes while giving their supporters tax breaks. Islamic terrorist will not be the source of the destruction of western democracies. Their destruction will come from within as more and more are promised and look for something for nothing. Right now there is no leader in no country willing to address the real problem facing their nation. Life of nations like the lives of their citizens is ever changing and nations must change and adapt to the current and future reality or go backwards. Is Britain moving forward or backward? Is the indulgence of the masses in the royal`s lives an escape from their reality or an avoidance of their reality? OK I rambled but I think you get the idea; bin laden is fish food, thank God; so now let us get back to solving our real problems. Should there be more bin ladens as there likely will be there will also be more fish to be fed.
