Assuming for the moment that the reports that Osama bin Laden died in Pakistan last month from typhoid are true (I'm certainly not convinced here), it raises a very interesting question: What did the President know, when did he know it, and when did he start talking about it?
According to the French newspaper report, Osama died on August 23, and the Saudi intelligence service found out about it on September 4th.

So when did Bush first start talking about Osama again in public? As far as I can tell, after a couple of years of ignoring the subject, it finally comes up again on -- get this -- September 5th, during the Bush interview with Katie Couric.
