Why is it assumed Bin laden is still alive? No one has seen him in public for many years

I have been wondering this for a long time myself, convinced, as I am, that he was killed at Tora Bora in December 2001. It would be very easy for him to prove his existence, and to his benefit too. Simply release a picture of him holding a recent newspaper, or something to that effect; so the fact that he doesn't do it, to me, using Occam's Razor, is that he can't, because he is DEAD!

As to why the government continues the possible fiction that he is alive, who knows? Most of the press in America wants him alive, both because some of them favor his side in the dispute, but also because he is a convenient boogeyman and 'face' of our enemies.
