How long as "UBL" been the style? Are we calling him Usama now in order to avoid confusing him with Obama?

Well in Arabic it's spelled with a U, but I'm pretty sure this "Usama" stuff is to avoid mixups with Obama, seeing as it has only come about since Obama entered the campaign.

that’s not true. The feds and military have always said UBL.
