Has the rumor of Osama bin Laden’s death been greatly exaggerated, or is there more to it than initially thought? The news first surfaced last September, when a French regional newspaper citing French and Saudi intelligence sources claimed that the most wanted man in the world had died while hiding in the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
If one is to read into behavioral changes among Saudi Arabian jihadi fighters returning from Pakistan and Afghanistan, bin Laden could indeed be dead.

It would be good news in the war on terror if Osama bin Laden is indeed dead. It still wouldn't end the war. So far though, this is all speculation.
There's a more complete article on the World Peace Herald's website. They conclude with this...
Maybe now with Robert Gates, a former head of the CIA, as the new secretary of defense, more effort will be placed in finding bin Laden. Unless, of course, he is already dead.
Maybe there will, and maybe there won't. Whether Osama bin Laden is dead or not isn't really the issue. If he's dead, that's obviously not stopping the terrorists from continuing to plot and mount terror attacks. The capture or death of one man, even if that man is Osama bin Laden, is not going to be enough to win the war on terror.
Unless you're a Democrat.
