The proof that OBL has been captured comes from secret sources that can't be disclosed for national security reasons. And while those secret sources didn't actually acknowledge that OBL has, in fact, been captured, they refused to deny that he had been captured, which apparently means in spook talk that OBL has been "bagged and tagged."

I was once told that "annonymous sources" in the news buisness means "two reporters sitting around a bar getting hammered and speculating as to what might have happened." Maybe the intelligence business works the same way.

You sure know how to waste your time complaining about something that know one here cares about. The fact of the matter is that no one here believes %100 percent that Bin Laden is in custody. Some of us believe it more....some less. I bet you that even Sean would not tell you it is not %100. The thing is that it is more likely that he is right than that he is not. That is all. The statements coming out in recent days about how we will have him by the end of the year are give aways IMHO. I stopped doubting Sean's conclusion a lot less when those statements started coming out. They would not likely make such statements if they did not already have him. But we don't know for sure. Your assumption that we are all a bunch of mindless zombies being led down the road of deception is actually a deception that you have created in your own mind. Those of us who post here are much brighter than you give us credit for. We may speculate, but we are not certain of anything until there is proof. On the flip side while you are so worried about us being sheep to all of this speculation...Then you prefer that we be sheep in simply believing that nothing bad could be happening because the government would tell us...The media would tell us....And Yes-even you would Tell us. No thanks. I prefer to see all the information and decide for myself to whatever degree I see that as possible.
