Just to play devils advocate for a moment (and potentially get the conspiracy theorists excited!) but what if Bin Laden isnt actually dead?

Not the first time I've heard this offered, but to add to the possibility of it being true, explore this;----------He's worthless dead but if alive, could be a fountain of information

Hate crowned cups.

Very interesting.  He talks about the attack of the media and almost everyone against seymour hersh and how little has been put in to verify or try to track some of the underlining things mentioned in the story.

He also talks about the discrediting of seymour and how this isn't the first time, and mentions 2 of the major stories broken by seymour and how he was ridiculed while the stories turned out true later on.

thats odd ... Why would it be up to everybody else to try and prove his story accurate. Isn't that his job??

Did you read the story? I might have summarized what I understood.

:). Yeah my intent wasn't that he wanted people to prove him right, but he just discusses the reaction of the media to the story.. He mentioned a lot of things I didn't know and referenced a lot of other intestine stuff as well.

Seymour Hersh

Hmm, conflicting articles.

O'Neill is a "former" SEAL and has no restrictions on what he may want to say about it. I have followed Seymour Hersh for years and respect his journalism but I just think his sources on this one are real sketchy, besides the fact that the rationale is totally flawed from the Pakistani perspective.

I would think that it is the obligation of those claiming his story is not accurate to find and publish things that demonstrate that.  The media wasn't supposed to prove that Brian Williams' stories were accurate, it was their job to check out what he said to see if it WAS accurate.  If someone in media claims that Hersch's story is inaccurate you search out the facts and see if they contradict the account.  That is how it happened with Brian Williams, George Steph . . los, The UVA/Rolling Stomes deal and many many more.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      Now you may not agree with these but once you get the speed dialed, super fast, true rolling greens yield a lot more holed putts from 10-15 feet range = birdies. Also, the rough wasn't terribly penal. On a separate note, it seemed Berger tried to cash in on his lead. Didn't play bad or anything but you could tell dude had already blown his load the first two days. And then Akshay stepped up. I mean the dart for the eagle was ridiculous.  Fun watch in a long time.

      Day 1 (9 Mar 26) - starting up again with a week layoff due to travels.  Played with the men’s group for the Monday shootout.  Was good to play, had some rust especially the long game, especially getting proper weight shift.

      Day 204 3-9 Wrist arch through downswing and getting wider with backswing. Need to continue working on getting trail arm "reconnected" as it still seems a bit off with wider backswing.

      Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.
