Bin Laden Died in 2006?

Pardon the light posting of late, stemming from reasons both professional and personal (okay, mostly a misplaced thumb drive).

But although I have a back log of about ten posts to put up, this one is too good to sit on for even five minutes.  According to Russian televison, a "former CIA agent" claims that Osama bin Laden died on June 26, 2006 from disease.

Screw it, conspiracy sells (see PFARRAR, CHUCK) so I'm all in.  Everything I wrote in Wanted Dead or Alive was merely a classic misdirection for the really secret government agencies re: the truth about Bin Laden.  Also, Saddam and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are still alive and operating food trucks in Portland, OR.

Okay, all kidding aside, could anybody possible come up with a more disreputable source than a "former CIA agent" living in Turkey talking to the Russian media?

P.S. What is the over/under on Google hits about a month from now from kooky sites reprinting this as being serious?
