1. Why do we and the Media call him Osama and the military and intelligence agencies

3. Do the US Intelligence Agencies use both?
Why do the people that supposedly know the truth use one and the Media use another?

4. Because Arabic doesn't translate perfectly into the Latin Alphabet
Edited on Fri Dec-28-07 09:26 AM by YOY
And consensus was never reached on the issue early enough.

Neither does the Cyrillic, Hindi (any dialect), Persian/Dari, or Chinese (any dialect) etc...

The Japanese alphabets tend to. Because the language is syllabic and all the syllables are discernible into Latin.

Until then he is quantifiably 67% dead.
