There is only a single picture I can find of his body, and it is the worst and most blatant photoshop i've ever seen. I won't link it, but type it in on google images and sort by age. Notice the blurred edges on the head and the complete resolution difference between the top and bottom halves of his head.

Sid I agree with most of your sentiments, along with what Fenjer said as well.

While I agree that the vast majority of Muslims will shed very little in tears, I do feel that his followers will want their "revenge", this is not a time for us to drop our guard......................

In this country & others how do we announce the death of our monarch, the phrase "THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING" springs to mind,

I can't help but think there is a NUMBER TWO (phnarr phnarr!!!) to this particular Dr. EVIL.

has anyone seen his dead body??? no? well i very much doubt he is dead then. most probably payed millions by the americans to disappear again as he was payed to say he carried out 9:11. a guy sat in a cave hijacking 2xplanes. cant see that. so obviously was the american government needing an excuse to go into Iraq. or "oil"raq.

So if his broadcasts were sent from a fully furnished studio then it would have been made all the more plausable in your eyes? Your only comment on his guilt relates to the location they filmed... weak.
I very much doubt his dead body will be paraded on international televison, his religion is very well known and if the USA disrespect the burrial process of that religion then they'll get more than an earful from citizens and politions globally. If we see anything it will be documents confirming it, test results etc, nothing more.

It's an American publicity stunt arranged to distract attention attention from our Royal Wedding. They didn't want to be outdone by a little island somewhere in Europe!!

Actually, I wouldn't fancy being a high profile royal going on a honeymoon about now....

Well it all sounds a bit fishy to me. The most wanted man in the world that took 10years to find, and they take one snap and throw him into the sea within 24hours??!

When they killed Saddam's sons in an air raid we were provided with multiple good pictures - when they were bloodied and afterwards when they had been cleaned up for burial, etc.

The whole 'buried him at sea quickly not to offend muslims' is ball crud. The guys been killed, if he was shredded into a million pieces hardly any muslims would give a toss, probably cos the vast majority don't consider him as one anyway. What's more is that if they really wanted to go by the Islamic way of things they would have buried him on land which is much preferred to sea burials.

I don't doubt for one moment that he's not dead. Probably been dead for some time. America could never claim his assassination if they were not sure of his death. But I think recently (or not so recently), America found out for sure he was dead for whatever reason and probably thought they could play it to their political advantage in one way or another down the line.

Very nicely timed with all the arab revolutions going on at the moment, or perhaps the administration looking to win more votes. Either way, I can't beleive such a prized possession that took 10years to find would be photographed once and then dumped into the sea...I mean why the sea?!

Can someone explain this photo of supposedly dead Bin Laden I've seen on Sky News this morning? Was it the official photograph released by the US or just something Sky downloaded from the internet?
