Poll question: Is Bin Laden dead or alive?
I haven't seen this much discussed around here and was curious what people thought about the current status of Osama Bin Laden.

4. I'm beginning to think he is a political boggie man. "Vote for me or Bin Laden will get you".

17. That is what I am talking about. IF they are true then he is probably
dead if not then who knows.

23. They were not true.
Those reports were part of a disinformation campaign.

Still, he could be dead, as the result of either bombing attacks that likely injured him years ago, or from US Special Forces and/or mercenaries from that region. If so, it is unlikely that his death would have been reported.

11. Emanuel Goldstein Lives!!
He's either dead or living somewhere with access to good medical care. He may be back home in SA, or living as a free man in Paris. If he's alive, he needs dialysis, unless he got a new kidney.

14. Well, if you believe
Faux Snooze, then he died in Pakistan due to an untreated lung ailment.

That is according to a news report by them on December 26, 2001.

I would link to it but knowing the ambiguous enforcement of the "rules," hereabouts I am hesitant to risk such a venture. I do not want to be chastised vigorously by the mods for linking to right wing websites. It is there, I just read it, just search for "bin laden dead fox news."

I thought everyone knew this already.

CIA's central casting just has not replaced him yet.


Just my dos centavos

19. Two circumstantial evidences.
Benizar Bhutto spoke of a person, Omar Sheikh "who murdered Osama bin Laden" just before she was assassinated.

There is also a story out there about his tomb that is in Pakistan.

Of course during the Bush administration any investigation of these leads were stifled no doubt by his Secretary of State and Attorney General.
