Good post. I had literally the exact same thought when I saw the article title.

Prove the identity through DNA, then put his head on a pike outside the front entrance to the Pentagon. For extra credit, let's pay down the national debt by setting up a stand in front with baseball bats for rent, $1 per swing. By the time OBL's done with, Saddam will have been executed and we can put up his head.

Whether he's alive or dead, it's important to report that he's dead.

If hundreds of newspapers and TV stations start to carry this story, ben Laden will be forced to reveal himself if he's alive.

If he's dead, the repetition of his status will eventually be accepted.

I personally believe this. Ben Laden is too much of an egoist to have not been seen in a couple of years -- not one video.
