The only proviso is that I don't think they actually had to say anything until they had their story straight sometime the next day.
My rationale is that this operation had been planned for a long time, and there was no way anyone could "beat" them to the story.
And say AQ had (inexplicably) prematurely announced OBL's killing before the WH, so what?
Obama was still able to take full credit for doing this, and he wouldn't now be facing doubt about whether the WH is actually telling the true story on this.
