Bin Laden Death: Let the Conspiracies Begin

POLITICS. .

The death of arch-terrorist Ussama Bin Laden will no doubt produce multiple conspiracies. And not just Arabs and Muslims who are skeptical of American claims in general, but also so-called "9/11 Truthers". Since the latter do not even believe that Ussama Bin Laden was behind 9/11, they may very well now question whether he was in fact killed and attribute the story to some PR scheme to feed national patriotism.

Many right-wingers may also assume that while Bin Laden was indeed killed, that the timing may be suspect. And that Obama may have knew where Bin Laden was for months now only to wait to clear the mission when his poll numbers were at record lows.

Many others will assume that Bin Laden has been dead for a long time or that the United States killed someone else falsely attributing it to Bin Laden. The as yet refusal by the White House to release the photo of Bin Laden will only add fuel to the rhetorical fire as many will ask, "if they did kill him, why not show us the proof?" And the fact that his body was dumped so quickly in the Arabian Sea will also fuel imaginations as being suspicious and part of an elaborate scheme.

A thousands tales will not be broadcast and expect another "documentary" akin to "Louse Change" which will sprout silly theories of trash. This is inevitable. Whenever there is something incredible that happens, incredible in an objective sense of the word, like Kennedy's assassination or the Moon landing or 9/11 and Bin Laden's death; there will always be those few who refuse to accept empirical proof and instead believe that they, they alone, see the "truth" that everyone else is too brainwashed to notice. And they are on a crusade to enlighten [sic] us.

It gets boring fast.
