FBI CLAIMS THERE IS NO 9/11 BIN LADEN LINK / COULD BIN LADEN ACTUALLY BE DEAD?
Bin Laden is still on the FBI’s most wanted list. However, there is no mention of 9/11. When questioned about it, Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI responded, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.” [Thank you Project Censored for the tip on the FBI statement.]
This is totally consistent with previous statements by Osama – immediately after 9/11, he claimed to not be behind the attacks. Why would someone that really doesn’t give a fuck what America thinks lie and claim he wasn’t behind a specific attack? In the past he had been proud.
The evidence presented by the US government for his involvement in 9/11 are two videos in which he claims to have masterminded the attacks. However, there are several reports claiming the videos are inconsistent with other bin Laden videos: he uses the wrong hand to write compared to the official FBI profile of him, he wears gold rings (forbidden for Muslim men), and the white portions of his beard under his lip are definitely shaped differently. A separate Swiss Study also claimed that other Osama Bin Laden audio tapes were faked.
Add to that, a video where Bush is claiming that he doesn’t even care about the whereabouts of Bin Laden – and this was only 6 months after 9/11.

Little Country Lost has a hugely informative post on the possibility of Bin Laden’s death. Among the things I learned from the blog, many sources said Bin Laden died in 2001 due to lung complications. The Pakistan Observer, French media, Israeli Intelligence, Egyptian press, even FOX news reported it!
