Most people I know who doubt it fall into the first version where they say "There is no evidence he was killed during the raid, therefore he wasn't killed during the raid."

Uh, there isn't any evidence to confirm or deny he died from Marfan Syndrome which was widely reported 11 years ago, either. All I said was that I don't think he was killed in the raid, any my reasoning (note that I never claimed it as proof) is the contradictory statements and actions of a military that has reasoned not releasing it although they've already done far worse.

This is my point exactly. There is no proof for or against his death from a health issue 11 years ago or the raid. The only thing that we know, or think we know, is that he is dead.
It was no desperate attempt to condescend you, but rather a reply to your condescension of a previous poster who provided his input with an extremely sarcasm laced, "SOUNDS MUCH DIFFERENT WHEN YOU HEAR THE BACKSTORY, DOESN'T IT?", after you seemingly took it upon yourself to fill us in on the details. Kind of like a, "Hey, jackass, get your shit straight." type of deal.
