The Undead

The CIA have just announced that Osama Bin Laden is probably still alive.

Maybe he is, my intelligence network isn’t as sophisticated as that belonging to the US Government so perhaps I shouldn’t comment, but it does strike me that the evidence adduced to prove he is alive is pretty uncompelling.

My feeling is that Osama is much more useful to some people as a potential bogeyman than a categorically dead corpse.
