Osama bin Laden died after being maimed in an American air raid on the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan in December 2001, a French expert on the Arab world believes. Why should I believe a French expert?
To: blam
I have always thought he was dead, but Im not taking the word of ANY French "expert".

Her original report that appeared in Le Figaro was much more detailed. She has no confidence in the authenticity of the tapes that circulated in 2002-2003 (a Swiss lab and most FR people agreed). As many have argued, it doesn't take much more than a cheap camcorder to prove he is alive.

She has no confidence in the authenticity I am confident that those tape are fake. It's probably bin Lauden's voice from earlier unreleased tapes, but spliced together.

"someone has placed a bag in the same colours just behind him to disguise the fact that he has lost his arm," she saidAnd, unexplicably, his right nut.

Does anyone HAVE that picture she is talking about, we all remember that picture, and thought something was wrong with his arm, but I guess I didn't look that close.....

Just because a Frenchie says he is dead doesn't mean that he is not dead.
To: blam
If true, bin Laden died a slow, lingering, and hopefully painful death, as one organ after another shut down.
To: blam
Nice try France. Ain't buying it. From you, anyway.
To: AngrySpud
Heck, if true, there are going to be a whole bunch of deeply depressed liberals. One more success for America, one more success for George W. Bush. Oh the horror!! Heh, heh, heh!!
To: blam
When we discover Bin Laden and Hussein living as a married couple in Belgium carrying French passports, we shouldn't be surprised.
