Obama's bin Laden raid narrative a big fat lie?

Obama's bin Laden raid narrative a big fat lie?  People of a certain age will remember Seymour Hersch – the reporter (back when they actually did some reporting) who broke the story of the My Lai Massacre in 1969.  He's got quite a rant in The Guardian today, being cranky on a wide range of subjects.  One thing leapt out at me:
Don't even get him started on the New York Times which, he says, spends "so much more time carrying water for Obama than I ever thought they would" – or the death of Osama bin Laden. "Nothing's been done about that story, it's one big lie, not one word of it is true," he says of the dramatic US Navy Seals raid in 2011.
I've heard doubts about the truthfulness of the Obamanoid's narrative on the bin Laden raid, but most of them seemed like partisan wisecracks or were simply not credible.  However, Hersch (at least at one time) is definitely a credible source.  The article doesn't say what he bases that assertion on, but if he's got evidence of Obamanoid perfidy, I sure hope it sees the sunlight and is published...
