Is Osama Bin Laden Really Dead

The Media has been saying that Osama Bin Laden is really dead.  I wonder if he really is dead.  I don't sometimes trust what the media says.  I feel too that his death was convient a year before Obama's relection.  I have trouble really believing it just because all the news channels say it.  Im like some people when it comes to believing that there is a Creator of the universe I need to actually see it to believe it.  Something about this to me smells of convience.  I'm thinking that maybe certain people who killed him knew where he really was all along.  It's not that he possibly has died but its the fact the timing of it that smells dirty to me.  I'm not saying that I'm right about all of this either but it smells of a political agenda of some sort.  Did they really get Osama Bin Laden or someone that looks like him?   I would like to hear what you think about this.  Does this seem like a political cover up of some sort?  I encourage you to share your comments on this.  I may be opening up a can of worms by talking about this but I have been thinking about this at times the last few days.  If you think I'm right tell me why.  If you think I'm wrong tell me why.  Again something about this doesn't seem right to me.
