CIA raises eyebrows by live-tweeting bin Laden raid – 5 years later

Usama bin Laden was just found in a third-floor room and killed over the weekend – at least, that’s what you might think if you were following the CIA on Twitter.

The CIA raised eyebrows for its decision to “live tweet” on Sunday the daring SEAL Team 6 raid on bin Laden’s Pakistani compound – a mission that occurred five years ago.

The agency, which has engendered at-best mixed reactions to some of its previous social media ploys, tweeted its intentions twice, including at 1:22 p.m. ET on Sunday.
