It doesn't matter, as usual, these idiots with their inconsistencies, fabrications, half-truths, & false facts have mucked it up so bad that everyone has doubts about what went really down in the assassination of UBL, or was there and assassination.

Kinda reinforces 1 of my 2 conspiracy theories......2) He's alive, and in perfect health, in the bowels of some CIA "interrogation" room (or Gitmo, per Bt's cynical notion), while Hollywood continues on the creation of the above noted Terminator-killed OBL lookalike, for photographic purposes

What's so different? They shot bin Laden more than once, ok, what else, so what?

It's funny to watch who hatches the conspiracy theories. We know the middle east will be full of them because that's who they are. It's a way of life in the muslim world. We have TV, and Hollywood, they have conspiracy theories. But here, by whom, when, and for what purposes they're hatched is interesting to watch.

I think Bin Laden would have been more valuable to us alive than dead.

Of course I can only speculate as to why they decided to kill bin Laden rather then capture him. I never felt, though, that given the opportunity they would do anything but kill him.

This weeks cover of The Economists [ http://www.economist.com/node/18651288?Story_ID=18651288 ] had a picture of bin Laden along with the caption, "Now, kill the dream".  I think that pretty much says it. They didn't capture him because as long as he was alive, in our custody, the dream is allowed to continue, fester, even grow.

Perhaps the intent was to capture him all along and just let the world think he was dead.

That would be very risky. Too risky in my opinion.
