Interesting read but I don't know how valuable this analysis really is. Not that someone shouldn't try, but they might as well augur a sheep if they are looking for real meaning.

Your relying on a 6 year old Fox News report that is based on hearsay as ?proof? that Osama is dead?
Grow up and get a clue already.
How many reports of Castro?s death have there been in the last year and a half? And yet he keeps turning up on Cuban TV?
Conclusion:
The work reported here was mainly motivated by pure scientific curiosity, also aiming at showing the possibilities and limitations offered by automatic speaker authentication system in non-optimal conditions (typically, noisy environments and limited amount of recordings). While this study does not permit us to draw any definite (statistically significant) conclusions, it nonetheless shows that there is serious room for doubt, and that it is also difficult to agree with some US officials saying that it is 100% sure that it is bin Laden. When addressing a problem with a scientific perspective (as opposed to a political approach), one has to be ready to also accept the uncertainty of the results. Even if the confidence of these results can be boosted by exploiting multiple automatic systems and multiple human expert opinions, it will never be possible to authenticate the latest bin Laden tape with 100% assurance.

Can you back up these claims?
