Yep -you are right. bin Laden has been dead for 2+ years now.

MY QUESTION: Why does the CIA keep him alive? Every tape that comes out, the CIA says that it is bin Laden, witness the one just last week. Meanwhile, I remember last year when one "new bin Laden tape" came out, people that actually KNEW bin Laden said it was not him. They quickly were never heard from again. And the CIA says it's bin Laden.

WHY?

Ok- hate to answer my own question. I am all for keeping the bogey man alive and all - but he's DEAD!

Gotta go, there is a knock at my door, maybe the FBI using the Patriot Act on me or something....

WHY?

Because until you can absolutely say it is him and demonstrate this conclusively, what's the point in saying his dead?
