#1 I expect I'm going to be in the minority on this one, but I tend to be of the opinion that bin Laden is alive but that he is at the same time quite happy to keep up the appearance that he was dead either for security reasons or because he's altered his appearance.

All of the reasons for why he just doesn't use a video camera can also be argued against al-Zawahiri or Saddam, both of whom we're sure are alive but yet continue to rely upon audio rather than video tapes from which to spout their rantings.

In addition, if it his unaltered voice on the more audiotapes there's no way that he could have known in December 2001 about a number of things ranging from the summer 2003 US budget figures to the 3/11 attacks that have been referenced in recent tapes.

Just my $0.02.
