SOMEBODY GIVE CARNEY THE CORRECT SCRIPT

It is being reported by al Arabiya and many others that ObLs daughter says ObL was captured and killed in the first few minutes of the raid.

But White House spokesman Jay Carney says ObL was killed at the end of the raid.
Bin Laden and his family lived on the second and third floors, and they were cleared last, with bin Laden killed toward the end of the siege, Carney said.

Bin Laden was not armed but did put up resistance when U.S. forces entered the compound, he said.

According to the U.S. official, who is not authorized to speak on the record, bin Laden "didn't hold his hands up and surrender."

A woman in the room with him -- believed to be bin Laden's wife -- rushed U.S. forces and was shot in the leg, but not killed, said Carney.

NB no mention of the daughter who states she saw ObL being shot.

And there is this implication that the brothers shot at the SEALs.
On the first floor of the building, two al Qaeda couriers were killed in addition to a woman caught in the crossfire, he [Carney] said.

Yet no weapons have been found at the compound!

Three days later and still no consistency.
