Talk:Osama bin Laden death conspiracy theories

Because I'd like to experience the after-effects myself. On Russia Today, radio host Alex Jones claimed that bin Laden had been dead for nearly ten years, and that his body had been kept frozen on ice ...In 2002, he claimed that an anonymous White House source had told him that bin Laden "is frozen, literally frozen and that he would be rolled out in the future at some date" OK, this is an article that deals with conspiracy theories. BUT all those theories I read (except for the ridiculous one with Hitler vs. the Illuminati) sounded plausible BUT this one. Frozen on ice? I'll stake my claim: this guy either regularly smokes something new yet to discover by others, or he was too much in theaters watching sci-fi movies. -andy 217.50.59.191 (talk) 21:54, 26 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

this conspiracy theories are sickening me, how could something like Illuminati which (if ever existed) ended in 1800s still be taken serious? Russians ain't interested in UBL and some idiot around trying to get his or her "10 minutes of fame" on internet I'm gonna personally work on to start cleaning up wikipedia of all that crazy conspiracy garbage on a daily basis, many people come here to read for schools, this ain't a geek forum this is content for everyone — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.124.161.119 (talk) 05:39, 17 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Was the related conspiracy theories section intended to be humorous in nature? It sure seems that way.

Clean up the main page claiming OBL died in 2011 then if you want to get rid of the conspiracy garbage, 186.124.161.119.

This content is for everyone, meaning it should be truthful. 82.1.73.23 (talk) 21:18, 22 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure why Seymour Hersh is mentioned in the intro but not actually included in the article text. If it doesn't qualify as a conspiracy theory, then we should take it out; if it does, then we ought to write a section in the article about it. GAB^Hello! 01:03, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi User:GeneralizationsAreBad, I wrote that paragraph. I agree, it should just be mentioned in the lead and then expanded upon in it's own section. What do you think of a section named "Evidence that official account of Osama's death is false"? Richard☺Decal (talk) 05:32, 14 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

The final line of the very first paragraph mentions a “25-minute blackout” of the live feed, citing two 2011 news stories. But a more recent New York Times piece states in passing that there was never any such feed:

Almost immediately, the administration had to correct some of the most significant details of the raid. … The president and his senior advisers hadn’t been watching a “live feed” of the raid in the Situation Room; the operation had not been captured on helmet-cams.

No references are provided, although it is said as if it is now as common knowledge.

If this has been covered in more detail by any reliable sources, please add them and revise the opening paragraph accordingly. —Wiki Wikardo 04:07, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Conspiracy theories develop where info is not complete, does not tally, or does not make sense. I personally do not care about this Osama one way or the other but what I found peculiar was that the mostly female witnesses on the premises in Abbottabad were first whisked away by the Pakistanis and then to Saudi Arabia. Someone made sure they did not talk? Such interviews would have been worth millions. Who had an interest in keeping these people from talking? Was the late Kashoggi in contact with them before he left Saudi Arabia?2001:8003:A070:7F00:2928:A694:97ED:60B1 (talk) 10:50, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
