Osama bin Laden

Now that Osama bin Laden has been found and killed, it's just a matter of time before the conspiracy theorists start coming out of the woodwork.  I'm going to beat them to the punch and offer up these theories in advance.  If you are a conspiracy theorist, consider this a favor — I've done the hard work for you.

So here they are, out of left field and in no particular order:

1. It wasn't really him — I mean, they apparently did a DNA test, but did you see it?  Neither did I.  Maybe bin Laden had already died somewhere in Afghanistan, or was presumed dead, and the US government just wanted bragging rights.  The fact that they buried his body at sea means this theory isn't going to go away anytime soon.  Photos of his body would help, however.
