I Disagree With Michael Ledeen

For the first time:

And, according to Iranians I trust, Osama bin Laden finally departed this world in mid-December. The al Qaeda leader died of kidney failure and was buried in Iran, where he had spent most of his time since the destruction of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The Iranians who reported this note that this year's message in conjunction with the Muslim Haj came from his number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, for the first time.

I think the notion of Bin Laden's kidney troubles was thoroughly debunked in "Misinformation." I wish it were true, but don't believe it is. I've thought him dead many, many times, much as I thought Saddam Hussein was killed in those airstrikes time and again. Evil's like ragweed.
