Our local financial reporter just attributed today's stock market gains to a rumor sweeping Wall Street that Osama Bin Laden has just been captured.
ONLY A RUMOR! (But you heard it here first.)

I still don't understand why so many people believe that OBL waited around at Tora Bora for our forces to come bomb him. He's a cowardly terrorist. It just makes no sense to me.I'd imagine he felt safer in his mountain base than out fleeing across the countryside. I don't think we should imagine that the Tora Bora base was just one mountain with one cave. It was probably extensive, too extensive to bomb the whole thing. Once we began engaging Al Qaida there, clues would've popped up to his location and we sent in a big one to bury him. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it until we see his next top ten video, which I don't think will ever happen. :^)

The "tin-foiler" in me thinks thak our spooks are happy to maintain that piece of fiction for a couple of reasons.Oh, I wouldn't call it fiction. :-) I think the Administration does benefit by OBL being alive, despite all the criticism that results from it.

Maybe... but I see tons of clever logic in such a tactic and firmly believe it's been implemented!

Why the sarcasm? Surely you've seen plenty of posters here using that argument about the WMD.
To: Beelzebubba
OBL is dead.
To: Beelzebubba
As a PR professional, I guess I should just use my paltry budget to fly up to NYC and start a rumor about Saddam or Bin Laden using my product. Word seems to get around very effectively up there at times (remember the "Ronald Reagan is Dead" rumor?)

Hakka people in Taiwan touch and admire a slaughtered giant black pig, the 960-kg (2,116 pound) winner of the 'Pigs of God' contest, at a sacrificial ceremony in Yimin Temple in Taiwan's Hsinchu county, August 17, 2003. The animal was one of about 30 pigs that were killed as part of a traditional ritual to worship the ancestors of the Hakka people. Animal rights groups have criticized the religious practice, in which the pigs are castrated at a young age and force-fed to increase their weight before being slaughtered for the celebrations, and have called on Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian to stop it.

He's dead.
Notice the Chain of Command is now, "And OBL's Executive Assistant sent communication via email to Al-Jezeera today warning of more threats...."
