Osama Interview:
I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than what the U.S. Government has stated. But the Bush Administration does not want the panic to spread. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the U.S. system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive. They can be anyone, from Russia to Israel and from India to Serbia. In the U.S. itself, there are dozens of well-organized and well-equipped groups, which are capable of causing a large-scale destruction.

I thought he'd already died of Kidney failure waaaaaay back?

There was a story long ago - not long after 9/11 if I remember correctly - about him receiving treatment in the UAE towards the end of the Clinton presidency.
Although staff at the hospital confirmed it and identified a staff member at the US embassy as having visited him, the story was later denied.
If true then the obvious embarrassment would sure be reason for some to deny it but you never know these days what is true and what isn't. If he was in need of treatment and wasn't getting it then he's probably long dead. Maybe they've had him in a freezer somewhere, ready to wheel out the corpse for a triumphant GWB to end his presidency on. (like that's gonna make him popular again!)
