Likely alive - and with our support, in some agreement to not do further harm.
Consider the voters/careers that man has begun, a security theater industry that's making the powerful - wealthier and more powerful. I think he lives, and is on our payroll. It's all politics - consider who sits in that oval office and tell me that guy has made any effort to get osama's head. |

Gotta be dead. I just can't believe he would remain silent for years. If he was still alive, he would be gloating about it from time to time.

Not sure we ever cared, but our political and military leaders stopped showing any interest in him since about mid 2002?
It would have been awkward to continue to paint him as the public enemy #1 when we had to get people revved up for Iraq |

Skull and Bones West. on a less tongue and cheek comment, i'll never forget, i think it was patreus during an interview when asked would they find osama, would they find sadam. he was certain that they would find sadam and seemed pretty certain that osama 'might never be found'. i found that interesting, especially after sadam was captured. you've heard zero about osama since tora bora (more or less). my guess is those who know, know the fate of osama, which could be anything from dead in tora bora to in some permanent dungeon somewhere most likely offshore. but he is 'permanently' out of the picture and they know it and they also know that it will remain a mystery for sometime, perhaps forever. a fitting 'ending' might be one i read in a book recently.. they had this guy who'd caused someone else a lot of pain. in the end, they cut out his eyes, cut off his tongue and puntrured his ears. and then kept him alive for years in a dungeon. osama deserves such a fate (not death which is wha the wanted i guess). |

Continuing the "less tongue in cheek" mode, I knew someone who was one of the first ones into Tora Bora after the rocks stopped falling. His opinion was that there was no way anyone made it out alive from there, and that's what I've based my belief on. I think he's still hidden in a cave somewhere, but with a few hundred tons of gravel between him and daylight. |

Alive. Hate him all we want, but the motherfucker is a survivor. I've heard credible theories that he's either A) hiding in Pakistan, likely the Baluchistan region by now, B) managed to escape by boat and made his way by sea to rural Indonesia or C) under comfortable house arrest as a guest of the Ayatollahs in Iran.
Wherever he is, he's not relevant to Al Qaeda like he was a decade ago. The majority of his assets are frozen or inaccessible and he's in poor health, and to appear on video tape now would show him as frail and weak. He communicates only through courier and his bodyguards would kill him before letting him be captured. Killing or capturing him would be a waste of time and resources right now, might even have an adverse affect by making him a symbolic martyr to rally around. There are far more dangerous and operationally capable fish to fry anyways. |

I keep hope that some leak will confirm his death. But there are couple of factors that lead me to believe he is alive. First, the radicals would use him as a martyr. A dead martyr is a powerful tool for them. Second, politicians and military leaders would be very excited to be the ones to announce his death or capture. I feel sure Bush would have very much liked to announce his demise to the American people.
So I can't see any logical reason why either side would pretend he was alive if he wasn't.

He's (been) dead, Jim.
Why are we silent? Sleeper agents here may activate if they learn he's dead. We also need the bogeyman to maintain Homeland Security. I understand that the German Stasi's Marcus Wolf was brought in as a consultant to help organize that branch of gubmint. OBL was a diabetic and he needed the big bloodsucking machine to stay alive. Those portables only work for a while before he needs the big vampire to clean his blood. I say he's deader than Rasputin. |

Yes there are shitheads that took advantage of a situation OBL caused to grab some power, make money, etc, but those same folks would do the same thing if they had his head on a pike. The kenyan in chief could act like his balls have dropped and everything. No way the .gov could pull something like that off. |

Hopefully SpaceX can someday. Three words: Mirror array telescope. I'd assume NSA and pals can/have done it if we can do it publicly: Second will be the mirroring system. If JWST was using a single mirror like the Hubble, the mirror would have been too large to get into orbit aboard a rocket, that’s why it is using an array of mirrors that are folded up like the petals of a flower until it reaches it’s target location (the 2nd laGrange point) and then deploys or unfolds its mirrors.
Unless there is an insurmountable hurdled present with a visual-spectrum version of JWST.

He's alive.
We'd know if he were dead. Why we let him escape Tora Bora is a question that I doubt will be answered in my lifetime. We don't really seem to want him too badly anymore. Besides, it is far easier feeling up little kids in airports and harassing law-abiding, patriotic americans. Fuckers are running out of time though. They'll have a lot bigger problems than Bin Laden when that happens. My guess is that he has relinquished a fair amount of leadership to others who have been brought up to fill various leadership slots so he is not as much a threat as he was. Al Qaeda is, however. They are just otherwise occupied for now and are probably trying like Hell to get their hands on a nuke. |
