Someone made a good point about this, really: Why are we referring to Barack Obama by his surname and Osama bin Laden by his given name? The issue does not arise if you pick one type of name and stick with it.
'cause the phoneme "ma" is very fun.

Well, the president is always referred to by his last name (I hope you wouldn't expect the media to go around calling him "Barack"). And I haven't really noticed much coverage referring to Bin Laden as just "Osama", it's generally "Bin Laden" or "Osama Bin Laden".

Honestly, I don't give a crap about the name swap. I just care that Osama's dead. Crap happens, people make mistakes. Let's move on. As far as the evidence. I don't doubt that we got him. I don't think anybody really doubts that we got him. It would just be nice and vindicating to have the evidence(Ie; photos) more widely available.
And yes, Arix. I am alive. It's a global game of dodgeball. Somebody caught the ball, UBL died, and I came back in.
