As far as being accused of things you could start with this:

Having said that it's not the same as being arrested and charged with a
specific crime.

Khalid is acknowledged as having the original idea. OBL was accused of
turning the idea into reality.


> He has said things in his videos.  Doesn't make them true.  

You are correct, he could have lied.


> I don't think he's made any tapes recently, 

Wikipedia editors have the last one as January 21st 2011.

Does getting old and being sick excuse anything he is accused of doing?

I never argued for or against the American "execution" of him. I just wanted
to clarify some of the statements other people are making.
