somebody is that covers the white house whether white house officials -- this was a good news story for country, a great development for president bahob, who made that gutsy decision. were they trying to sell it a narrative or oversell it? >> they tried to get in front of a quick moving media environment. they wanted to control the narrative. they were concerned about the isi and pakistan. they didn't want to them to control it. you say conspiracy theories emerging from the region. obviously the white house should be more careful about saying they didn't know what they didn't know. they say this is what we think it might be, but we're not sure. >> if fairness they're hungry for every detail they can get their hands on. there was a story about the dog that accompanied this unit. the white house was responding to a lot of pressure from people in our business. >> there's no question about that. the pressure matters. what is the narrative? was this a firefight? was bin laden resisting? was he just mowed down?
