Peter, as muckraking journalist George Seldes stated in the late 1800s, take nothing for granted when dealing with the US media. They will manipulate anything and anyone for the express purpose of satisfying the people who sponsor and/or pay them. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out that the great majority of the supposed "Bin Laden" videos were fake...but the majority of the American public, who are gullible to begin with, will take those videos and anything else the media spews out at face value, because they simply don't know any better, or want to. How do I know this? Because I just had an argument with someone in my household about that very thing, and what did they say?? "Why would they lie about his being dead?" Just saying...

I hope this brings back all the strange anomalies to the light of review and research, such as the phony OBL videos; the bin Laden's being flown out of the USA and Canada just after 911, his having been a patient in a US Military Medical facility, his 'escape' from Tora Bora, the long dead OBL now being killed again, all the evidence that at BEST OBL was a useful tool in 911 for others.
This whole persona [if not 'legend' in the intelligence sense] needs to be deconstructed and researched much further. I take nothing that the US Govt. is saying now or over the last two decades about OBL at face value.
