They do not want a memorial. There was no way around this. They did the same with Hitler.

As of February 2011, 172 detainees remain at Guantanamo.....


.....On Jan 7, 2011, President Obama signed the 2011 Defense Authorization Bill which contains provisions preventing the transfer of Guantanamo prisoners to the mainland or to other foreign countries, and thus effectively stops the closure of the detention facility. However he strongly objected to the clauses and stated that he would work with Congress to oppose the measures.[16] U.S. Secretary of Defense Gates said during a testimony before the US Senate Armed Services Committee on February 17, 2011: “The prospects for closing Guantanamo as best I can tell are very, very low given very broad opposition to doing that here in the Congress.

On March 7, 2011 President Obama has given the green light to resume military trials, conducted by military officers, with a military judge presiding, of terror suspects detained at Guantánamo Bay.[225] He also signed an executive order that moved to set into law the already existing practice on Guantánamo of holding detainees indefinitely without charge

Fair enough. He stated many times that the torture has to stop so I think he's trying to end this sorry episode in American history.

Yeah he has, however if they do have Bin Liner alive I think Obama may allow a little persuasion to be used in his case, eh?

Not a chance on this earth he's alive. America would never be trusted again if he turned up somewhere.

When he died is another matter

Yet still no denials from Al Qaeda that Osama is still alive, if he is! Do you not think they would be delighting and revelling in the US's embarrassment if he had NOT been killed? The internet would be awash with jeering videos. More likely the story that his body has been disposed of has been disseminated to avoid any chance of fanatics trying to steal back his body to enshrine it somewhere for other maniacs to worship.

Osama is dead - a coward to the very end, cowering behind his own wife. What a guy.

Not that I'm trying to single you out but it seems you've swallowed your government/mainstream media/military industrial complex medicine without so much as a second thought. I wonder if you believe our governments are even capable of lying.

Let me say that whichever government storyteller came up with that wife bit, pure genius, that'll go over well with the war hungry masses. I also read in the Miami Herald that intellegence from Guantanamo Bay may have played a role in nailing the former CIA darling Tim Osman, now known as bin Laden. That's *******ing brilliant: Look kids, torture sometimes works.

The whole thing stinks and I believe he's dead but that's only because I believe he's been dead for years. I will be surprised if I see ONE reporter ask a real question like why in the world do you chuck this man's body into the ocean several hours after obtaining it when you have spent TEN *******ING YEARS trying to get it? The whole thing stinks and this is one issue that will separate the sheep from the people who don't assume everything they're told is true.

Not that I'm singling you out, but I'm astounded at the usual conspiracy theorists who crawl out of the woodwork at every opportunity to pontificate about different scenarios about every single political action.

Whether Osama was killed yesterday or years ago to me is pointless to speculate about and I really don't give a rat's behind - it is enough he is dead (of which I am sure), and I reiterate that if he were NOT he, along with his fellow maniacs, would be parading his cowardly self on every TV channel and on the internet to humiliate and jeer at the US and the rest of the West. What a fantastic opportunistic coup that would be for Al Qaeda don't you think?

Just because you deem yourself all knowing and superior in intellect to us mere mortals doesn't wash with me - after all I have had the misfortune, and often amusement, to read a lot of your posts and threads on here that display the extent of your naivety, ignorance and disingenuity, so I think I will trust my own instincts thank you very much, after having spent many more years on this earth than yourself and, as a Brit, having lived through the atrocities perpetrated by more terrorists with their different "causes" on my native soil than the Americans ever have.

Then i might. But for now no.

It's not like his death changes anything anyway, the only thing it will do is give the families and friends of 9/11 victims is closure and make them feel better i guess?

Actually, it could make things worse if his followers decide to avenge his death

Precisely, to think Osama would leave his 'club' with no plans, no new leader, no nothing. Of course he wouldn't. For all we know Osama could have had someone far more clever and evil working for him and now that person gets to take the lead.

Do you not understand that showing images of Osama with his eye shot and brains splattered, might infuriate the Muslim world? They're going to do it, but they're being cautious.

Do you not understand that there is so much stuff which makes this story very hard to fit together? i think its just the government lying for an alternate plan wether it is to actually catch him or just to boost their economy.

The Right is officially dead in America. They've played every trick in the book now, and it's over. They are going to have to splinter off into other political parties. They're bull**** birth certificate nonsense, and the death of Osama bin Laden, happened in one week. They are butthurt beyond belief.
