And that is YOUR ASSUMPTION since no where I (or anyone on this forum as far as I know) made any definitive statements as to the latest "news" from the WH. As far as I KNOW, politicians and power elites are not to be believed without solid proofs of their "statements"; therefore OBL might've been killed in 2001, or died of kidney failier some 5 years ago, or was killed few days ago, or is still alive.
