Wait a minute. Months ago it was reported that the U.S.already had family DNA samples, including even possibly Osama's mother. And ever since the "scrap metal collectors" were killed, it was speculated that the tall one in a white robe surrounded by guards might be Osama. After the special forces collected the remains we've been sorta waiting for word on it (and also assuming that if it's a positive match the news will be held until the time is ripe). So what has happened to prompted this story TODAY?
I am not an expert in DNA, but since they didn't have HIS DNA, but rather that of some of his relatives, perhaps they asked additional relatives to make the match even more mathematically probable.
OR, perhaps we didn't get him, and the relatives are releasing this trying to force our government's hand.
OR, perhaps MSNBC et al are trying to get the government to tell them something, so they are baiting with this article.
