Out of nowhere? Did you expect Obama to give you updates on Twitter saying, "yes we're still after him"?

What are the "major glitches"?

You really fall for this conspiracy stuff?

He was not 'lying', he was giving hope at a certain moment. Why does everyone have to think in terms of black and white?

I'd be very interested to hear you explain precisely what glitches destroy the logic involved. Looking at all the evidence presented thus far, and especially weighing the immense risks associated with lying about his death, I'm inclined to believe the administration when they say that a special forces operation resulted in the capture and death of Osama Bin Laden.

The "bono lies" thing is an Interference in-joke.

[canedge]

Second point. Dead bin laden.

I can agree with most that he is dead. I believe that they killed him.

But the question must be asked, Is it possible that someone could pull a mass media hoax? Isn't everyone on this board not familar with "Wag the Dog" premise.

Why is it in a court of law that things must be proved upon a reasonable doubt. Aren't people on this board willing to accept the flaws of a witchhunt?

i am too. But thats not to say I accept everything they say at face value. Or anyone for that matter.

I believe about 80% of what I hear.

[Dfit00]

The quasi-known whereabouts about him over the last 10 years, the amount of information that was known by officials of the secret intelligence, the compound's closeness to Pakistani military and the like are the glitches that do not follow logic into what actually happened. These claims could be answered by the government, why don't they do it to clear it up? Why are they apprehensive in releasing factual proof of information, like showing the body's pictures, for example?

I am not deeply into the conspiracy theories regarding all of the events, I am not even American in the first place. It is just something worth discussing to let the public know that there are always two sides to every story.

The word is that it will flame up militant Islam.

A further point to this, and to anyone who thinks that retaliation is a good idea. It might even be a wise miliatry strategy to let him live. One of the lessons of ethnic conflict is that you create a whole new generations of disgruntled people who have lived through war related problems.

It might even be a wise miliatry strategy to let him live.

I don't think so.

Al Qaeda member surrenders, Saudi Arabia says

In the wake of Osama bin Laden's demise, is al Qaeda falling apart?

The Saudi Interior Ministry said today that a senior al Qaeda member on Riyadh's most-wanted list named Khaled al-Qahtani called from abroad and turned himself in.

"Interior Ministry's spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said in a statement Wednesday that Khaled Hathal Abdullah al-Atifi al-Qahtani contacted the security authorities from an undisclosed country and expressed his wish to come home," the Associated Press reports.

"Al-Qahtani was reunited with his family and his surrender will be taken into consideration while looking into his case, Al-Turki said."

The Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman did not indicate when Khaled al-Qahtani gave himself up, but many members of the group's Yemeni wing, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), have recently fled from Yemen, the AP writes.
It wasn't immediately possible to ascertain whether Khaled Al-Qahtani is the brother or relative of Mohammed al-Qahtani, a Saudi-born al Qaeda militant detained at the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Mohammed al-Qahtani, now 32, had been picked up in the battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan from which bin Laden is believed to have escaped.

UPDATE: The two men are not brothers, Gregory Johnson, a Yemen expert with Princeton University, told the Envoy:

"Al-Qahtani is a common Saudi name and there are many individuals in AQAP with that name...They may be related in some other more distant way."

You're gonna need to explain this, it makes little sense.

When do governments release gory photos?

Who in 2011 will believe every photo they see?

Is it worth enraging certain portions?

You called this a 'lie', you're going to need a little more than you have to back that up.

[Dfit00]

The exposure of the event and its speculation speak for themselves.

Endless questioning is not the proper way to discuss a topic, BVS.

[canedge]

In the wikileaks era it is common for users to see gory photos. Saddams hanging has more hits that Rebecca Black.

[The_Pac_Mule]

Saddams hanging has more hits than Rebecca Black.

Quite frankly I'd rather watch the hanging.

[canedge]

me too.

[PhilsFan]

Do you honestly think that if the US was lying about this that al-Qaeda wouldn't offer up proof? They would LOVE to prove the US wrong and make us look full of shit.

There's way too much risk to make this up.

[The_Pac_Mule]

Even Al-Qeada believes it. They confirmed it with their operatives in Pakistan. And admitted it.
