You still haven't found him and you won't. As I said before, this is his way of humiliating the USA once again. These mocking videos, if they're authentic, are another humiliation.

Well, the argument to your first paragraph is really very simple. If he was a brave leader, and true to his beliefs (which is the whole basis for his purpose), then sacrificing himself for those beliefs would be not only honorable in the eyes of his followers, but would make him a martyr. Al Queda does not NEED him to continue on with their operations. It's far beyond that now. Even HE must know this.
And the taunting he does with the distribution of these tapes (legit or not), is really just like throwing snowballs at your father. Sure, it's fun that you got the better of him for the moment, but it's really not going to save you from getting your ass whipped when you get home.
EDIT: Point and case: Jesus Christ. This guy's martyrdom spawned one of the most influencial religious uprisings in the history of the world.
