In about 9.5 years we have never managed to catch Bin Laden. Of course, I have *heard* a theory on this that we might know exactly where he is and keep him around for various reasons:
1.) If we keep people afraid ("Oh no, what will he do next?") then they are more likely to entrust the power's that be to protect them (sheeple -- not all of us). When people have a face of evil (a la Soviet Union) it is easier to have people stand together and united for a particular cause.
2.) He's an evil tyrant, but his "tapes" are fuel for the fire of keeping the War on Terror hot and heavy. I say tapes, because do we really know for certain these tapes are recorded by him or perhaps by someone who works for the C.I.A. to help ensure our continued presence and heightened security since to the Patriot Act and Homeland Security? Has there been any research into these tapes to check their actual validity?
3.) Are we safer as a nation than we were on 9/11? Ultimately, as we are told daily, it's not a matter of "if" but "when" we will be struck again. Do you really think we're safer in any way/shape/form today than we were on 9/11? Personally, I don't give a shit (about myself at least) too much about it. Que Sera Sera, you can't change what happens but only life with your choices. I'm going to live my life as I always live my life. If shit hits the fan, I'm grabbing a beer from the fridge and then offering a helping hand as much as possible.
NOTE: I am not a "conspiracy theorist" -- I just think these are some thoughts worth considering. Just because I posit them doesn't mean I believe them, but I think they are worthy of discussion. As far as I know, our government would never intentionally lie to us or attempt to usurp the Constitutional powers/process in any way.
NOTE 2: I would never attempt to disrespect the lives of Americans lost due to the War on Terror / terrorism (including 9/11). It was a tragic day, and anyone who does not give the proper respect and dignity to those people who died that day are fuck-heads (to quote a great comedian) in my book. However, to those who say that it is disrespectful to the memory of the men/women/children and soldiers who have died to even entertain differing ideas/conjectures than what the mainline press spoon-feeds us, then I think you should check your government sheeple-attitude at the door.
