The US s political discourse and foreign policy in recent years has been based on the assumption that Osama bin Laden is still alive. George W. Bush promised as president that he would get Osama bin Laden dead or alive and has been widely criticized for failing to do so. The US s present military escalation in Afghanistan is said to be necessary to get Osama bin Laden. The news media regularly announce the appearance of new messages from bin Laden. But what if Osama bin Laden died in December 2001 which is the last time a message to or from him was intercepted?

In this book, David Ray Griffin examines the evidence for the claim made by everyone from former CIA agent Robert Baer to Oliver North that bin Laden is surely no longer with us. He analyzes the purported messages from bin Laden and finds that, as many have suspected, they do not provide evidence of bin Laden s existence after 2001. This leads naturally to the question: if Osama bin Laden did indeed die in 2001, how and why have dozens of messages from bin Laden appeared since then?

Griffin s meticulous analysis supports above all one simple and urgent conclusion: if Osama bin Laden is dead, the US should not be using its troops and treasure to hunt him down.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this cumbersome if intriguing extended essay, Griffin (The New Pearl Harbor) argues that Osama bin Laden is dead and that the tapes attributed to him are fakes designed by the U.S. to maintain support for antiterror initiatives and the Iraq war. Griffin sifts through a mountain of circumstantial evidence including statements from such officials as former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Afghan president Hamid Karzai, who have both stated that bin Laden may have been killed shortly after September 11. Keeping him alive serves propaganda purposes, Griffin contends, and he meticulously, if not entirely convincingly, dissects each message, of bin Laden's messages, from December 2001 to October 2008, to reveal how these communications have been conveniently timed and constructed to suit the needs of the Bush administration (particularly when it came to linking al-Qaeda to Iraq), going so far as to suggest they were fabricated with voice morphing technology. Griffin's research is worthy of consideration, but as the war in Afghanistan intensifies, the question of whether or not Osama bin Laden remains alive becomes an afterthought as newer challenges emerge.

Review

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, one of the reasons for George W. Bush's invasion of Afghanistan was to uproot al Qaeda and "get" its leader, Osama bin Laden, "dead or alive." President Bush was widely criticized by his opponents, including presidential candidate Obama, for failing to achieve this objective. Why has the United States, with its massive intelligence apparatus and military might, not been able to apprehend bin Laden? In this provocative book, Griffin (codirector, Ctr. for Process Studies, Claremont Sch. of Theology: The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions), a leading conspiracy theorist on the subject of 9/11, seeks to solve this puzzle by asking, What if Osama bin Laden is no longer alive? He points out that the last time a message to or from bin Laden was intercepted was December 2001. Using a vast array of public statements and writings by public figures, military analysts, and former CIA officials and relying on publicly available data, Griffin deconstructs the report of the 9/11 Commission and highlights its omissions. He also examines purported messages from bin Laden since 2001 and finds little evidence that these in fact have come from bin Laden himself. VERDICT After presenting evidence worth pondering about bin Laden's possible demise, Griffin concludes more broadly by evaluating the policy implications of pursuing a debilitating war in Afghanistan. His highly recommended work is worth consideration by both general readers and students of 21st-century international affairs.

Newsflash Osama bin Laden dead long ago not killed by ...

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016

Newsflash Osama bin Laden dead long ago not killed by SEAL team 6. This would include the lack of any recording whatsoever by a SEAL team that have no less than six different cameras on their body that are working at all times. Or the burial of the most wanted man in the history of the world supposedly with his burial at sea with once again no video from all the cameras placed all over the SEAL team or no camera showing the burial of the most wanted man in the world. What seems more than a coincidence in a double rotor Chinook helicopter the entirety of SEAL team 6 was assassinated by their own governments. Did you hear that right? Every single member of SEAL Team six, dead!

DEAD BEFORE HE WAS "KILLED BY US SEALS"

The USG claims to have killed this 9/11 patsy and dumped his body in the ocean without allowing him to be identified by appearance, DNA, fingerprints, etc.

Investigate 9/11 for yourself and you'll see the obvious false flag, justifying the invasions of Afghan., Iraq, Libya, etc.

David Ray Griffin's book is loaded with details about the end of OBL's life, which more likely seems to have occurred around 2001, NOT more recently. For those with inquiring minds who do NOT automatically buy into whatever "story" our media broadcasts this is a book you should not miss. So much evidence of propaganda & spin.......

David Ray Griffin presents a thorough and precise timeline/argument as to why Osama Bin Laden actually may have passed away in December of 2001 due to complications of the kidneys. The Bush administration did what they do best with yet another deception(Bin Laden, the boogie man still alive and dangerous) to aid in keeping everyone in fear of future "terrorist attacks" not to mention brownie points come re-election time. This sick world makes me sick.

Griffin as Great an American Patriot as there is

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

We all owe Dr. David Ray Griffin a debt of gratitude greater than to anyone else in our lifetime. He has doggedly, patiently, uncompromisingly researched and impeccably reasoned his way past all the roadbocks laid down by all of our highest authorities and bought-and-paid-for "news" media like no one else, on every major aspect of the unspeakable 9/11 crimes, and now on the life status of their designated (but unindicted) boogy man, Osama bin Laden. That this potent volume has not been reviewed or discussed, or even its existence acknowledged, in any mainstream media outlet, speaks volumes. It's undiscussable because its conclusions are demonstrably and convincingly true, and the authorities can never admit that they have ardently perpetuated another big lie for the past eight years, along with and part and parcel of the massive lie of the sophistocated and technically complex and daunting mass crimes of 9/11, as perpetrated and carried out by a small handful of woeful Arabs, itself. Now, to bring the certainty of the essential truth of Dr. Griffin's overall revelation into the full public consciousnes and conventional understanding! Only thus can we recover a people's government in this country!

For those who remember what the politicians say

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

"Osama Bin Laden" reminds the reader that there were many varied and conflicting statements during the Bush Administration regarding the War on Terror, its perpetrators and whether or not American citizens were truly in danger after 9/11, other than those, of course, who were sent to Iraq to fight. Dick Cheney, for one, constantly reversed and restated his "facts" and "opinions" about Al Qaeda as did Donald Rumsfeld and numerous others in the rarefied White House cabal. This short book reminds the reader of information to which all have had access through the years if one weren't persuaded by the propaganda of the "moment." Probability forces one to come to terms with the likelihood that OBL has been dead for years but that he has enduring propaganda value, even for the current administration.
