ITB and OBL

Chad Evans at In the Bullpen yesterday linked to a story about an Aussie terror expert who theorized that Osama bin Laden was “certainly either severely incapacitated or dead.” Today, Chad has a link to a story where the US counter-terror ambassador states bin Laden is alive. Me, personally, I’m hoping for dead, and a painful death at that, but assuming alive until confirmation of long dirtnap status.

After his first post, in which Chad pointed out that it had been over a year since any word from Osama had been released, I left a comment expressing my curiousity about previous gaps between Osama communications. Well, Chad did the leg work — well, more likely keyboard work — and put together this rather informative timeline of Osama messages.
