Oh, I agree with you.
There were other photos
that were later than this.
UBL's beard was almost
completely gray/white,
all white, almost looking
anorexic.
But as I always say, UBL IS DEAD
or captured, or in a hidey-hold; but
his evil spirit of hate lives on via jihad.
I really think he was captured---and died in custody. I don't think we (US) wanted to let the news out- out of concern for jihadi reaction. Again- the jihadi's knew that he was missing some time ago- they just did not know his fate. All they said was that he would not be returning to them- along with one other bozo.
