I agree with those who say we want him alive for interrogation, and to be able to verify his identity.

I wouldn't worry about verifying his identity. DNA analysis will take care of that. Even if we don't already have a sample of bin Laden's DNA, I'm sure we have samples from some of his many siblings and children. That's enough to establish 50% consanguinity.
