Having gathered a following outside academia for his books questioning the standard narrative of the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Griffin (emeritus, Claremont School of Theology) here questions whether Osama bin Laden is still alive. He concludes that bin Laden most likely died in 2001 and that subsequent messages from bin Laden have been faked, possibly as part of a psychological operations effort intended to maintain American public support for the war.
