#2 From what I've read over that past few years, Ledeen's sources in Iran have a much better record for accuracy than all other media (I know that's not saying much).

Keeping my fingers crossed...

#4 Too bad we will have to wait until we take Iran to dig up his grave and see for sure! It would be the banner year, Binny and Arafat! I just get all funny inside thinking about it.

#6 I seem to recall Ledeen falling for exaggerated stories of ballot tampering in Iranian and Iraqi elections. He also systematically overstates the potential threat to the regime of the student demonstrations that occasionally happen in Iran.

I like the guy and agree with him regarding Iran, but suspect his sources -- understandably -- are feeding him self serving info sometimes and he's not great at filtering it out. So, though he's one of the 'good guys', I nominate him for a salt shaker picture on Rantburg.

That said, the idea that Iran is harboring Al Queda is widely believed and this particular story may turn out to be true.

#10 If he's still alive there's a chance, however small, taht he may yet repent. If he's dead, he's too preoccupied with misery to be of any harm to us.

#12 No matter whether alive or dead I believe most Americans want closure as per those Terror leaders whom planned and executed 9-11 - send in SPECOPS to find and dig up Osama's corpus dilecti, and bring it back to the USA for full public exposure. Many Americans in the past wanted the Kaiser's head, Lenin and Stalin'd head, Tojo HItler and Mussolini's, etal. - why should Osama and the Burqua Boyz be "special"!

#13 Joseph, I think that they meant it symbolically. Why would someone enjoy looking at the fugly Osama been Laid [in grave]'s head?
