Personally, one of the things that might convince me that Usama is pushing up the scorpions somewhere in the Hindu Kush is that the CIA firmly believes that he is still alive. There is an old joke, going back to the days of the OSS actually, that the CIA is a cover story for a real intelligence agency (the Bureau of Weights and Measures Field Operations Division perhaps). If only.

The whole point of calling him a “hellenist” is because it is a term that is known and understood among the Jews. He could be called some other term that means someone who is attempting to destroy Judaism from within, but it would not be as well understood. There have been many groups that attempted to do what people like J Street or “Milchama Achshav” (sic) are trying now, but “Hellenist” does fit the analogy.

In reply to Eric J. The CIA keeps verifying the Osama tapes as real. Either they've got an awesome audio splicer, or he's not dead yet.

Does anyone other than the Osama Bin Laden voice analysis expert at the CIA and his mom still believe that these recordings are OBL? Shouldn’t someone have gotten a Flip camera into the cave by now?
