I'm not starting or peddling any conspiracies, just more a honest question asking what are they - if indeed any do exist?

According to many people, the speed with which OBL's body was 'dealt with' and its burial (if indeed it was buried...), means that the conspiracy theorists will be thriving. Not to mention the ways in which the American authorities have affirmed that they identified and so got "their man".

So my question is really what are the conspiracies? Are the theorists saying that the Americans are lying and so are risking OBL popping up somewhere and having an enormous laugh at their expense? If OBL did die many years ago (as other theories I've read have claimed), why was that not reported or celebrated? Or is something rather more weird and unwieldly (New World Order, Obama really born in Kuala Lumpar, Reptillian Aliens, etc) being proposed?

I may just be being very cynical here but the timing is odd to me, why if they knew where he might be since last august why pick the weekend of the royal wedding unless the president of the USA is miffed at how mad people have gone for us brits and he didn't even get an invite, its like they couldn't cope with all eyes on us doing what we do best they have to get the attention of the world back on them.

It's because he knew that OBL and his henchmen would be off-guard, eyes glued to the TV, saying "Look, Abdullah, by the grace of Allah, how beautiful is that dress?! When I get to Jannah, I will request that my 72 virgins all be similarly clad, Inshallah! And the flowers, they will be specially prepared in Lincolnshire by Hanners binte S."

I thought that they specifically waited until after the wedding to avoid any retribution being aimed at the couple.

I also think that they still have Bin Laden's body and it is being hidden in that big warehouse in Indiana Jones.

Joking aside, keeping the body would be a security nightmare.

They've been gathering intelligence and practicing since last August. They claim they didn't have enough evidence until last week. I think the Americans would have definitely held off until after the wedding. I can't believe that Cameron wouldn't have known about this and had some say. It would have major diplomatic repercussions if they stormed the compound last week and there had been a reprise attack on Friday.

The security forces had enough to worry about as it was.

But wouldn't the authorities readily admit to that? Why would they run the risk of detaining him secretly somewhere, when they would claim they have a legitimate reason to do so?

They could say they've got him and they're 'de-briefing' him ahead of his trial? Then if they do decide to bump him off instead of publicly martrying him with a death sentence, they can blame kidney failure (as the OBL died years ago theories go).

But as the voice of dissonance says, I'm applying logic here!

Im pretty certain the thing about him using his wife as a shield, and refusing to surernder peacefully is completely fabricated ny the americans,

if they were doing the operation right, they would have gone in while he was definitely asleep, and gone in too quickly for him to react (a la uk drugs busts)
I dont doubt thats how they would have done it, their story is just designed to humiliate him.

I do however, believe that the burial at sea thing was nothing to do with a conspiracy, I cant see a better way to have dealt with his death and his body to avoid shrines/martyrdom/repercussions.

No. I'm serious. I don't think the US just go ahead and do whatever they want. Whatever the press want us to believe. They need our support for many things, not least all their air bases and we seem to be building our Aircraft carries to suit their planes.

What bit of 'evidence' that they received last week was so crucial? If he had been in the compound for months they would have him under close surveillance.

The timing is very co-incidental. It's not really a conspiracy theory just one of how do the people in power actually interact and what are the relationships between the people at the very top of our society.

In reply to paul-1970:

Bin Laden, Obama and everyone else are reptilian aliens behind the new world order, Bin Laden isn't really dead but has been pulled from Al Qaeda and relocated to their secret underground reptile city. Most of the rest of Al Qaeda aren't in the new world order thing, but they have a few well placed operatives that are and it'll be one of them that takes control again.

As for the timing, er, perhaps Bin Laden has outlived his usefulness and it also reminds everyone about that lot again, Obama's popularity needs a boost, um, I'm sure you can think of some more reasons. Perhaps they shall orchestrate some new terror plot and the "death" of Bin Laden will be the excuse.

Also, I'm sure Lady Gaga is involved somehow. I bet if we try really hard we can interpret something about this from her videos.

I bet there's some entertainment to be got over at vigilant citizen.

 Rob Exile Ward 03 May 2011
In reply to TimR: Crikey. I think I believe Hannah's explanation more than yours.

I don't believe that Cameron (or anyone in the UK) had any idea at all of what was about to happen; and I suspect the Obama was so zeroed in that he probably was barely aware that there was some fuss in London on the 29th. Of all the different factors they would take into account planning such a critical mission any impact on us would be so far down the pecking order it wouldn't have registered. ('OK guys, you're going to risk your lives picking up the most wanted terrorist the world has ever seen, oops no we can't go on Thursday night - some guy called Windsor is getting married in a place called London.')

The US like our cooperation but never need it, the special relationship is strictly one way. And I've said before - I don't think Obama likes us very much tbh, and has very little in common with Cameron.

close. the actual reason was william was flying one of the helicopters and couldnt make time prior to the wedding. i mean isnt the mysterious quiet weekend a bit convenient timing?

Obama gave the go ahead on Friday at 8.30am Washington time. 1.30pm UK time.
This chap called Windsor had 23million Americans watching his wedding. My Friend in Thailand said it was on every TV chanel out there and not just the BBC World service. The NY times estimated that 3billion people worldwide would watch it (OK. That's probably stretching it a bit.)

It has nothing to do with how much he likes Cameron. I doubt that Obama would have had much input into the operation he would have been told this is what we're doing and when we are planning to do it, sign here.

Just because a lot of us Brits don't take much notice, don't assume the rest of the world don't.

Then I got to thinking... What if the official line is actually the conspiracy? Total conjecture, but what if the authorities had nabbed him, took him away and now he's in Guantanamo ready for a torture session that would put the practioners of the Inquisition in the shade?

It's better by far to say that he's been killed, and then buried at sea within 24hrs of being killed, rather than say "we've caught him, and he's in custody", because the latter would lead to all sorts of kidnappings, and hostage taking and threats of terrorism in order to get him released.

So, he may not be dead, but may be in custody, under interrogation somewhere.

That's a pretty nifty conspiracy theory, which I've just made up, but I suspect very strongly that he is, in fact, dead, and was buried at sea.

But if he wasn't, and was really in custody, I wouldn't tell anyone that. Would you?

Are you suggesting that the political leader of the largest country in the world organises and plans his army's raids? I think they are a bit more worried about their economy than a defunct terrorist leader. It's now emerging that he would have been there for 6 years. Waiting another 48 hours isn't going to make a lot of difference.

You only have to look at who was packed into Westminster Abbey to realise what a mess a suicide bomber would have made given the opportunity. Al Qaeda aren't exactly known for their sniper style assassinations of future Kings are they?

I'm not fully with you there but I'm hoping that the heads of the anti terrorist organizations of all the countries in the UN have some sort of idea of what impact their operations will have on each other even if they don't know the details of the operations.

It would also be kind of interesting if we sent in the SAS at the same time as the US were sending in the Seals.

It explains the coded message sent by David Beckham wearing his medal on the "wrong" side of his jacket.

I would argue that a LOT of stupid conspiracy theories and disinformation are deliberately put out in the alternative media by agents of the intelligence services in order to make all conspiracy theories look daft and divert peoples attention away from doing their own research.

Listen to this speech of JFK warning the people of the dangers of secret societies. No other president since has ever had the guts to speak of this and remember JFK was assassinated:

Now, compare what Kennedy said with the following interview with George Bush about his membership of the secret society at Yale called Skull and Bones:
