Osama Bin Laden Dead or Alive?

As readers will probably recall, David Ray Griffin is a philosopher of religion who has written a series of books questioning the official interpretation of 9/11. Here he turns his forensic powers to the question of whether or not Osama bin Laden is dead. The general impression one gets from the media is that he is still alive and that the Americans are still seeking him out. However, this book conveys a very different view, setting out evidence that he died in late 2001 and that all purported communications since that time have been fabricated. Some of the video and audio tapes are pretty clearly fraudulent, such as one showing 'bin Laden' writing with his right hand when it is known that he was left-handed. Signals from his mobile phone ceased in December 2001. Griffin also analyses the discrepancies between his initial statement denying any involvement in 9/11 and later tapes asserting his central role. It seems likely that the intelligence services and governments deliberately distorted the situation in order to pursue political objectives embodied in the so-called war on terror. It's a pity that this issue does not seem to be a subject for public debate, but this book gives readers the necessary background information to reach their own conclusions.
