Thanks for the link Alex.

Some of the details relayed by Brennan appear to have been "clarified" since
that presser.

--------------------
A different guy’s wife was killed,” a different official familiar with the
briefing for TV reporters said Monday night. Bin Laden’s wife was “injured
but not killed,” the official said.

Another official familiar with the operation said it did not appear that any
woman was used as a human shield, but that the woman killed and the one
injured were hurt in the crossfire. The official said he believed Brennan
had mixed up the episode involving bin Laden’s wife with another encounter
elsewhere in the compound.

“Two women were shot here. It sounds like their fates were mixed up,” said
the U.S. official. “This is hours old and the full facts are still being
ascertained as those involved are debriefed.”
