how do you know?
2. The US bombed Afghanistan to smithereens.
3. There have not been any major al-Qaeda actions since 9/11. Prior to this al-Qaeda had taken a fairly steady string of terrorist actions against the US.
4. He has to eat and he'd go crazy if he didn't see anybody. If he did this people would see him. If people saw him they'd tell the US.
5. The US killed him but doesn't want to admit it because if it comes out, it means a forced withdrawal from Afghanistan.
hmmm ... maybe it's so ...

Where is Osama Bin Laden? An analysis

Where does he live?
Not in caves. The general belief, gleaned from interrogations of his compatriots, is that Bin Laden lives in one of the many mud-walled compounds that can be found along the border with Pakistan and Afghanistan. If you fly in a chopper, you will see them--large multi-walled buildings that are continually expanded. The largest ones are those of the clan leaders.
How often does he move?
Bin Laden is NOT believed to move that often, either. He does not normally change locations every night or even very frequently. He is believed to stay long periods of time--months in some instances--in one place. In some cases, al-Qaida security personnel have married into local tribes and clans, making them part of the extended family and giving Bin Laden and others additional protection. When he does move, it is not with a large convoy of trucks. (He used to be driven around in a white Mitsubishi Pajero, accompanied by white Toyota Tundras, but those days are long gone.) The latest information--and it is not current--is that he moves on motorbikes. One reason is that cars and trucks can be spotted by the roving “J-Stars” aircraft. Motorbikes cannot be as easily seen. According to Pakistani officials, Bin Laden and other al-Qaida officials move mostly late at night. In the hours after the sunset prayers, they will move into a village and take over a guesthouse in a large compound.
How is his health?
As for his health, he is 50 years old, turning 51 (according to the best estimates) in July. He does NOT have kidney failure and does NOT need dialysis. He has had kidney stones. He is also seen as somewhat of a hypochondriac. He is missing a toe, lost in a battle against the Soviets. He reportedly has an enlarged heart and chronically low blood pressure, which he treats with drugs. There is even some dispute over his height. Is he tall? Yes. Is he 6’5”? Maybe not. As one intelligence official told me, “If you see a guy who is 6’4” tall and looks like him, kill him.”

walter b. says not
(same link as above)
Bin Laden died in 2002 as a result of a US missile attack. The FBI and other high level Government officials acknowledged this but within hours craw-fished and claimed they killed a 6 foot tall scrap metal dealer that just happened to have several dozen well armed employees all taking direction from him. There are several good, non political reasons why the US Government has played this Bin Laden is out there somewhere charade these past few years. Gathering intelligence, not to mention the number of weak kneed boneheads who would claim the war on terrorism is over if they knew we had killed Bin Laden. Before this missile strike all the Bin Laden video had been crystal clear, animated, well lit, up close, you could count the pores on his nose. Since that 2002 missile strike the only video we see is either archival footage of him climbing around the rocks, or a poorly lit, soft focus, practically motionless image of a man claiming to be Bin Laden 30 feet away from the camera. No close ups. This bad camera work is not by accident.

Taliban detainee 'met Bin Laden this year'
By Orla Guerin

Bin Laden is believed to be somewhere along the Pakistan-Afghan border
A Taliban detainee in Pakistan claims to have information about Osama Bin Laden's whereabouts in January or February of this year.
His claims cannot be verified but a leading American expert says his account should be investigated.
The detainee claims to have met Osama Bin Laden numerous times before 9/11.
He says that earlier this year he met a trusted contact who had seen Bin Laden 15 to 20 days earlier across the border in Afghanistan.
"In 2009, in January or February I met this friend of mine. He said he had come from meeting Sheikh Osama, and he could arrange for me to meet him," he said.
According to the detainee, his contact is a Mehsud tribesman, responsible for getting al-Qaeda operatives based abroad to meetings with Bin Laden.
"He helps al-Qaeda people coming from other countries to get to the sheikh, so he can advise them on whatever they are planning for Europe or other places.
"The sheikh doesn't stay in any one place. That guy came from Ghazni, so I think that's where the sheikh was."
