How do we know there was a gun? Or even that he was in that hole? Because they "showed" it to us on TV?

4. Hiding.

I read the theories on a couple webpages. The short answer is "No, he was not a prisoner of anyone."

His sons grew their hair to hide, as well. In a lot of Muslim cultures, they don't shave or cut their hair. Osama would do the opposite to hide in some places.

And so what if he had no communications. When I was over there, the oil smugglers were using the damndest things to avoid getting detected. He knew if he used a cell phone, satellite comms, ground lines, whatever, we'd have found him.

If it had been a much bigger hole in the ground, some of our neater toys would have seen it.

Oh, and the military lines are abuzz with real "facts" :) We captured him while he was hiding, more or less. And no, we didn't have him beforehand.

Anyway, I know you didn't post all of the "reasoning" behind it, I'm more responding to a lot of the brou-haha I've read elsewhere.
