Is Osama bin Laden alive and well in the Philippines?

Not even as a joke.  To the best of our knowledge, Osama was killed by a group of US Navy Seals during a raid on a high-walled compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 2, 2011. He was buried at the North Arabian sea from on board the USS Carl Vinson, a supercarrier which visited Manila on May 14-15, 2011, and which President B. S. Aquino 3rd and key Cabinet members boarded and toured before it entered Manila Bay.

Now, four years later, comes a 10,356-word investigative report by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh of The New York Times saying, on the basis of corroborating interviews with authoritative official and other sources, that except for the fact that US President Barack Obama had ordered the strike at Abbottabad, and that the Navy Seals had killed Osama, everything else that has been said about the killing was a lie—a hoax.
