Too many details for one, considering that we haven't seen hide nor hair of this man for months. Second the manner in which he is said to have been wounded - leading an attack on a Spanish Base in Afghanistan (was there such an attack? Anybody know?). If memory serves Ben Laden gave more overall guidance than actually doing any of the killing himself.
It makes no real sense - would they risk the symbol of their movement on an attack on an obscure nameless spanish base? If Ben Laden was going to take a change that he would join the Martyrs surely he would leading an attack on an American Base yes?

And of course this comes out at a time when approval over *'s handling of the Iraqi war is at an all time low and in the middle of *'s 5 day media push to rally support. What better way than to toss out the prospect of the death of Bin Laden.
