They were probably showing each other on their iPhones the fake that's been posted everywhere, including here, and said 'yeah we've seen the pics and it was Bin Laden'. Then someone pointed out to them that they were looking at a fake pic, not the official one, so they had to correct themselves.
Which if nothing else proves they're not competent to decide for everyone else whether a pic is genuine or not. And despite not being competent, and not having seen the real images (if any exist) themselves, some still believe they should not be released.
