"It’s not that the truth about bin Laden’s death is unknowable; it’s
that we don’t know it. And we can’t necessarily console ourselves with
the hope that we will have more answers any time soon; to this day,
the final volume of the C.I.A.’s official history of the Bay of Pigs
remains classified. We don’t know what happened more than a
half-century ago, much less in 2011.
"There are different ways to control a narrative. There’s the
old-fashioned way: Classify documents that you don’t want seen and, as
Gates said, 'keep mum on the details.’' But there’s also the more
modern, social-media-savvy approach: Tell the story you want them to
believe. Silence is one way to keep a secret. Talking is another. And
they are not mutually exclusive."
