Bin Laden Fantasy

Financial Illusion

The apparent demise of Osama Bin Laden has been completely accepted. The evidence is highly suspect so out come the predictable Conspiracy Theory murmurings. It's classic and expected. The attempt to smear reasonable skepticism suggests that there is something to hide. To bury any questioning.

Bin Laden was allegedly buried at sea.

Why? 

Usually, if someone has somehow had a connection in life with the sea, this is understandable. Bin Laden only has connections with the land. The obvious advantage to 'burying at sea' is that no body will ever be recovered. This presumes that there was a 'body' to 'bury'. And even if there was who can demonstrate that this was Osama Bin Laden? Now? It's not possible. Even destruction by fire may leave some evidence in DNA traces. So...

Lose it. Absolutely.

'Bury' (somewhere) at the

(deep) bottom of the sea

It can never be verified that there ever was a body to 'bury'. The global commentary seems to accept that the story is basically truthful. The legality of killing can only be established with the assumption that the killing is genuine.

But there is no body! No post mortem. Absolutely nothing for verification. Very crude. But it might be true. Such theatrics rely totally on doubt. So the myth's dead, but the problem lives on. Real or manufactured. Believe it all or not (not! - DA).

• It's convenient: no body, no investigation. Attempted 'closure' to the myth by the military. Who else? - DA

Even the apparent execution is highly suspect. If the entire episode is dispassionately examined, the result can so easily be a total fiction.

But the 'legend' lives on. Just like Robin Hood.
