The singer, Rosalie Allen, died in late 2003, so maybe someone at the Onion caught a reference to it in early 2004? Or maybe it's just a coincidence. It's a great story though - poking fun at the Bush administration's inability to catch Osama while avoiding cheap shots. I'd guess today's onion would do something like "Neocons Explain Why They Haven't Found Osama Bin Laden".
that's a really great catch. Could be coincidence, but I've encountered many times where some long-forgotten event like Allen's death was later cited by The Onion or inspires something.
The Osama article mirrors a song from 1947 that makes a similar point about Hitler living on if we hurt our fellow man.

That "Neocons" headline is too real lol.
