On May 2nd of 2011 the US government claimed to have found and killed Osama Bin Ladin. However, many people find it somewhat strange that his body was taken to sea and buried instead of the US government keeping his body. His was apparently tested for facial recognition after being shot in the face several times, I am not to sure how recognizable his face would have been. They then claimed to have preformed genetic testing in order to further confirm that it was the body of Osama Bin Laden. It seems a little strange to many people that his body was taken withing 24 hours of his assassination to be buried. FOX news reported that "Osama Bin Laden died a peaceful death due to lung complications". By lung complication do they mean he was shot in the head and chest several times? These conspiracy theories come out of no where and often have nothing supporting them. This web page has many more examples of conspiracy theories of Osama Bin Laden: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/osama_dead.phpWhy is it that we like conspiracy theories so much over the simple explanation? We are genetically made to like secrets or conspiracies because for some reason we like the fact that people lie to us, or we just like the idea of it. It also has to do with bias, many people do not like the US government so they will believe the idea that the US government is lying to them. 2 examples of this are that 9/11 was an inside job and now that Osama Bin Laden's death was faked. Conspiracies theories appeal to us because they can be twisted and involve a lot of thinking which we like. Next time you hear a conspiracy theory remember that your mind may just as well just be tricking you.
