If the 5 released videos don't prove that OBL was recently alive

[pnwmom]

in his hide-out (watching TV while a picture of President Obama flashes on the screen) -- then why would photos of his body ever prove that he was dead?

The doubters and the haters will doubt and hate no matter what evidence is put forth.

1. There's not much of a spectrum between the terminally credulous and the monolithically paranoid.

Essentially, people typically choose one position or the other, particularly on contraversial topics, and avoid rational analysis of evidence as much as possible and believe what they want. Individuals who try to make an informed opinion from actual evidence are rare. Thinking is work.

I'd place myself in the terminally credulous zone and go with OBL being fish-food. I'm probably right, but I don't actually know for certain.

2. You are correct

Releasing the photos will never satisfy the people who don't think he's dead. Obama even mentioned this because it's true.

3. Conspiracy loons exist despite evidence provided

They won't believe the logical but will embrace the idiotic.

4. I had a coversation with a guy that made had a very simple question,

"what if it was all staged". He wasn't saying one way or another if he was dead or not but what if the OBL death was a ruse to get terrorist to turn themselves in out of fear of what the material may provide. I thought to myself what an interesting question.

Edit:

This may explain why they were on the ground for forty minutes(don't know how factual this is). Maybe the hard landing threw a wrench in the operation and it took them longer to destroy the helicopter Seems strange to destroy the main part but leave the entire tail rotor intact for them to have. Also, the way it appeared they just had some random guy picking it up and not the Pakistani military, I would have assumed the would have fired on it with a Predator missile to blow it smithereens.

This story is just bizarre and keeps getting more and more strange.

6. And you think all the bin Ladens who agree that he is dead

could be in on the conspiracy?

7. How many were in the room?

How many have been interviewed? What do we know other then a changing story every day and nameless "leaks"?

Just posting a side I myself hadn't thought of. Didn't say it was gospel.
