If he was dead, they would be flaunting the body, doing [american accent] autopsy's [american accent], they wouldn't have just chucked the
body in the sea.
He will be in Guantanamo Bay being waterboarded or something equally CIAish
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

He needed to go... But telling the world about it... no...
Especially given the way the Americans seem to be behaving on hearing the news. All they are going to do my celebrating hsi death is to infuriate
those who believe Bin-man is a martyr...

I won't believe he is dead or captured until we have photographic evidence. Showing the 'compound' on the tv means nothing

Is this why the bin man hasn't been round today to collect the rubbish?!

I don't believe he is dead - the ultimate punishment would be eternity in a western prison in solitary which I suspect is where he is; having
his nails/fingers/nuts/eyes etc etc removed with a blunt instrument. Much as death is deserved, I'd make keeping him alive and in as much pain
as poss until he's told all he has to tell.
Apparently the us were watching the compund for the last 4 years - how many deaths have the us been responsible for through inaction.

Maybe bumping him off was a good move, albeit dubious morally. Boasting about it afterwards is NOT a good move!
A better idea would have been to do the job, then announce that "Oh, we have good evidence that Osama Bin Laden is dead" and keep quiet
about who, when and how.

i thought they threw him in the sea for religious reasons, burrial within 24hours or something... does sound jubious, especially in the sea...

All sounds a bit bollocky to me!
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bin Laden died years ago and they've just been keeping the 'bogey-man' myth going to keep us
all in suspenders!

if they were just going to say he was dead and he wasn't, why wouldn't they have done it 6 or 7 years ago?
its entirely likely. they didn't say they knew he was there for 4 years, but they have been following one of his messengers for 4 years, which
eventually led them to this compund
of course, without photos, we won't know for sure, but why would they say he was dead, where IF he isn't, he'll just send a new
video next week saying, erm, i'm still alive?
and who's boasting? obama held a press conference type statement thing as any president or prime minister would have done, and the public are
the ones holding big street parties, which i think would happen anywhere

To keep the 'bogey-man' spectre hanging over us all!
Anyway... it's all in the timing!
Many 'in-the-know' suggest that the whereabouts of the previous Most-Wanted-Man in the World (Radovan Karadzic) was known for ages before
taking him in.
They were just waiting for the right 'political' moment to make their move...

The KGB buried Hitler in their staff car park for 45 years, Eva Peron's body was dug and held for ransom then mysteriously made to vanish for
16 years, a few years even more bizarrely her husband's body was also stolen and returned with the hands cut off --- I can't think of
anything more dubious sounding than those stories but they are true.
Conspiracy theories will always surround this type of story, truth is in effect Bin Laden has been a prisoner in quasi-solitary for the last 9 years.

As an American I think it was nothing more than a political move. Now the president, whose approval ratings have been plummeting, has something to
use to start swinging momentum for next year's election.
All a bunch of hogwash, make the announcement and be done with it. They're doing nothing but throwing fuel on a highly volatile situation, but
I am glad that he has been dealt with.

To be fair, I understand the appropriate religious practice is a burial within 24 hours, and burial at sea means that there is no grave for any would
be terrorists to visit or celebrate at; nor for anyone else to dig up and abuse.
But that aside, it does sound a little odd..

the lad at work suggested it was a conspiracy one way or another, but as suggested, theres no reason really. He had it coming, though to be fair a
proper trial and life in an american jail was probably hoping for too much
