The Daily Mail website has an article written by Sue Reid, who proposes that Osama bin Laden died in 2001 from complications relating to his kidney illness.

Actually, it has long been suspected by those of us in touch with the ‘truth movement’ that he may be dead, but it is good to see the mainstream media catching up.

The theory first received an airing in the American Spectator magazine earlier this year when former U.S. foreign intelligence officer and senior editor Angelo M. Codevilla, a professor of international relations at Boston University, stated bluntly: ‘All the evidence suggests Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama Bin Laden.’

There can be little or no doubt about the following points the Mail’s article makes:

Bin Laden initially did not claim to have carried out the attacks and although he is on the FBI’s most wanted list, he is not wanted for 9/11 due to insufficient evidence.

Videos have turned up purporting to be of bin Laden, but some are clearly not and others could have been made at any time in the recent past. The famous ‘fat bin Laden’ tape is perhaps the most unbelievable. These later ‘bin Ladens’ started claiming responsibility for the 9/11 attacks.

Professor David Ray Griffin writes in a new book:

A reason to suspect that all of the post-2001 Bin Laden tapes are fabrications is that they often appeared at times that boosted the Bush presidency or supported a claim by its chief ‘war on terror’ ally, British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The confession tape came exactly when Bush and Blair had failed to prove Bin Laden’s responsibility for 9/11 and both men were trying to win international public support, particularly in the Islamic world, for the anti-terrorist campaign.

The Mail article and some of the comments underneath it have more pertinent points. It is also incredible to think that Osama bin Laden was a CIA ‘asset’ and that his family has close business ties with the Bush family.
