I'm very cynical and skeptical about all this. It's not that I doubt for a minute that Bin Laden is dead. It's just that I've believed it for a number of years now. His family is very tight with the Bushes, and the man was reportedly a double agent, who could be used as a general "bogeyman" to blame for whatever the American propaganda machine wanted the public to believe. He was said to be in quite ill health ten years ago; it's very easy to believe the rumors that he has been dead all this time, and that "unnamed sources" continued to put together bogus video of a man holding "current" newspapers long after he'd died. How else to explain the utter failure to find him in all this time, and now suddenly (when it's convenient) he's been killed, and his body has been buried at sea "according to Islamic tradition." WTF!?
I think the US is just trying to stir up some "patriotic" sentiment, toward what end I don't know, but I suspect we'll find out presently.
