the Obama administration didn’t offer empirical proof to the public of Osama bin Laden’s death, but even if they had, conspiracy theorists would have tried their hardest to poke holes in it. It’s just how they roll. Some conspiracy theorists say that President Obama made up the Osama death story to take the focus off the birthers’ squawking about Obama’s birth certificate. Other conspiracy theorists claim that Osama bin Laden had died years before - but where is their proof of this claim? It seems conspiracy theorists don’t need actual proof to support their theories. Anything will do. Their motto is Smell Conspiracy in Everything and then Wing It When Asked for Proof.

Photos of dead Osama were taken, and the photos were examined by facial recognition experts and confirmed to be photos of dead Osama. DNA samples were taken from his body and compared to brain tissue samples taken from Osama’s dead sister. U.S. officials said they were 99.99% sure the corpse was that of Osama bin Laden. Conspiracy theorists claim that the Osama DNA analysis was done too quickly to have been real. Well, DNA analyses can be done rapidly – even overnight in some cases - especially if DNA of blood relatives of the person in question has already been analyzed.

After Osama’s body was properly prepared for disposal according to Islamic tradition, it was buried at an undisclosed location in the Arabian Sea to prevent his grave site from becoming a shrine. Smart move, in my opinion, because the grave site certainly would have become a shrine for Islamic fanatics and terrorist groups like Al Qaeda.

I have a conspiracy theory (of sorts) of my own: I think it's possible that President Obama and his administration prefer to let the Osama death conspiracy theorists have their fun rather than release the Osama death photos and other pertinent information and possibly provoke a terrorist attack. As long as at least some terrorists believe Osama is alive or was killed years ago when Dubya was president, they might not think an attack would be worth the effort. Who knows, maybe Osama death conspiracy theorists, without realizing it, are helping to prevent Islamic terrorist attacks on Americans by claiming that Osama is alive, or that he died years ago.
