If you asked me yesterday: "Where's Osama?" I would have answered that he was dead. I still find it hard to believe he's alive. Could the guy in the Al-Jazeera video really be an actor dressed up in a Osama suit?

A few days ago, Dan Darling presented a good argument that Osama was hiding out in Iran. I noticed in Osama's latest video that he was speaking from a lecture with a brown cloth hanging behind him. Osama appeared clean, in good health and nicely dressed for an Arab. Osama has bad kidneys and requires dialysis. Would Osama appear so clean and healthy if he was hiding out in a cave or primitive village on the Pakistani border? Also, why would Osama conceal the background of his hideout with that brown cloth if all that was revealed was the wall of a cave or village home? However if he was hiding in an Iranian fortress with access to everything modern technology could offer then disguising the background would make sense. The appearance of a door nob or electric socket in the background could have revealed his location. I think Dan Darling maybe on to something.
