he is probably dead, but he dead earlier than the news told us
There is a conspiracy theory about him dying a few years before from some illness.
Post-9/11 it was said Bin Laden had died @ 2001-2002, some say kidney disease, some lung disease - whatever it was, when I heard he had been taken-out and his body was ceremoniously dumped overboard, I thought that was total and complete b.s.
