So far as the military operation i.e. Seal Team ops, helo flights, etc. it sounds pretty straight to me. Of course I can't comment on the high level political stuff because I don't know anything about it. As for "disclosed fact", that can be a rather dicey area. You can pretty well figure that "disclosed facts" are always going to be less than what actually happened and possibly misleading as well for security purposes. BTW, That's definitely not the tail rotor of a stealth H-60 in the photo. I saw a photo of the tail of the one that crashed and it's very different from the photo.
