Jack Kelly takes up the question of whether Osama bin Laden is, shall we say, "metabolically challenged".
Matthew Heidt of "Froggy Ruminations" thinks Osama is dead, because that's the only thing that would have shut him up. Gregory Djerejian of the Belgravia Dispatch concurs.
Richard Minter, author of The Shadow War thinks he's still alive, but has changed his appearance and doesn't want soldiers knowing what face they're looking for.
Bin Laden needs dialysis, and needs to spend between 12-20 hours a week hooked up to a dialysis machine. Because of this, Kelly thinks he's in Iran where he can get access to a dialysis facility. (Home units are available, but I'm not sure if he'd have access to enough of the needed support structure in a cave in Afghanistan. He'd need, at the bare minimum, a generator, a supply of electrolyte solution, and lots and lots of extremely clean water.)
If he's not dead yet, I don't think he's long for this world. And when he does die, it will not be a glorious martydrom.
