Osama bin Laden is alive and regularly meeting Mullah Omar, the fugitive leader of the Taliban, according to a telephone call intercepted by American spy satellites.
In the conversation, recorded less than a month ago, Omar and a senior aide were discussing the American-led hunt to track them down. The two men, using a mobile Thuraya satellite phone, spoke about tactics for several minutes. Omar then turned to a third person who was within a few yards of him, voice analysis has revealed. After exchanging a few words, Omar said that 'the sheikh sends his salaams [greetings]'. Senior Taliban figures habitually refer to bin Laden as 'the sheikh'.

Voice analysis appears to corroborate the identification of bin Laden. 'It shows he was alive recently at least,' said a senior Afghan intelligence officer. 'Some people might like to think he is dead, but that's just wishful thinking.'

Ha! Ho ho! Hee hee! OMG that was soooooo freaking hysterical

I'd have answered your post a minute or two earlier but I couldn't stop laughing in how you ingeniously took what I said and turned it back on me?
Can you refer me to Mensa, since you absolutely must be one.

Yup. At least those of us that actual care about issues other than whatever the media is hyping this week.
