I think OBL's dead or alive condition is 50/50 for or against life. I hope he has died and left this earth but I am not certain of it. I still think someone would have tried to claim the bounty he has on his hide if he had infact died. If for nothing else but to continue to fund the AL Quada operatives.

The irony of using the bounty to fund anti-US campaigns would tempt many of his followers. That's how they think.

Many years ago I had an nasty encounter with some Moslems who tried to entrap my sister into their Persian charm ( they were Iranians ). They threatened me with life long harassment, etc.My sister left them of her own accord but they thought that I had influenced her to leave due to my independent personality. I had my own Iranian crisis long before the US had it's Iranian crisis.

The Afghani tribal member appears to be a two -faced and turncoat bunch of bandits( opium growers) so I fully expect that one of them would have collected the money in exchange for info on Bin Ladin's body. The people left in the streets of Afghanistan now are not the faithful Al Quada. They are the money hungry, tribal hoodlums.
