You, I, and all of the folks with no "need to know" will never see the proof.
OBL will be deprived of martyr status, and just fade into obscurity.

This of course is just my opinion, and if he should surface I'll have to eat crow.
(It wouldn't be the first time.)

I agree and I'll eat some crow with you if necessary.

Eventhough I hope you are right it seems to me if OBL were dead this information would seep out to his followers (and to our interrogators) and he would be a full fledged martyr. That in turn would further their cause. Since this hasn't happened I think he is alive, but I also think he is a dead man walking.
