This should make the MSM apologists (see: http://www.opednews.com/articles/How-Bush-Unwittingly-Helpe-by-Marc-McDonald-090111-958.html) of the blogosphere quite happy:

Q: "Is bin Laden still relevant? Do people still listen and respond to him?"
Bergen: “I think if he were irrelevant, we wouldn't be doing the coverage.“
Allow me to translate:
Bergen: “You see, just like me, OBL’s a CIA asset. Don’t believe me? Look up 'Tim Osman' on Google some time. Seriously! Oh, sure, we’re old spook pals, and that’s why I got all those juicy interviews back in the day. Anyhow, as I was saying, I’m a shill for the CIA and they told me I need to help perpetuate the OBL bogeyman myth & keep America imagining that their lives are in peril from a diabetic, 6’ 4” Saudi nutter on dialysis, living in a cave. That's why I'm taking to you now. Oh, yeah, and he’s likely dead. But don’t tell anyone I said that, OK?”
That’s right. Based on a multitude of MSM reports, OBL has been pronounced dead so many times it’s enough to make one’s head spin. But, don’t take my word for it. How about some help from Fox, CNN, BBC, etc. (see individual links on webpage): http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/osama_dead.html
And, let’s not forget Benazir Bhutto’s bombshell on BBC to Sir David Frost that OBL was assassinated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnychOXj9Tg
Q: "Why are we hearing this time from bin Laden and not his lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who speaks out much more frequently?"
Bergen: "[Al-Zawahiri] has been releasing more videotapes, and there's been an occasion when [al-Zawahiri's] released two tapes in one week. Hearing from [al-Zawahiri] is no longer a newsworthy event."
Bergen neglected to point out, also, that ghosts are much scarier than people!
Show me time-stamped video, subjected to expert scrutiny, and I might just start believing this stuff.
Until then… watch out! Bin Laden’s gonna getcha – BOO!
