Because He's Dead, That's Why

Terrorist watchers are wondering why Osama Bin Laden hasn't issued an endorsement in the 2008 presidential race.

It's been apparent to a lot of us that Osama is probably dead, and probably has been for at least a year. Ace, LGF, the Jawas...read those blogs for details, but to summarize, for the past year or so much of the Osama video and audio tapes have been of dubious legitimacy, possibly being old tapes recorded years ago, or in the case of one video, spliced together in an amateurish way to make it appear that Osama was still alive and directing Al Qaeda affairs. For me, it is a case of extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary proof.
