Let's look at this in a couple of ways, let's first assume it is true. Can anyone think of reasons why the capture should be kept from the public besides a re-election tool?
How about pumping him for information?
Or to minimize the likelihood that he can be pointed to as a martyr in prison for his beliefs and used as a rallying cry for terrorist recruiters.
Now, if it's false... What reasons would there be to create such a story? Perhaps to hurt Bush's re election by portraying Bush as using the war on terror to manipulate the election? Or to reduce any popularity boost that the real capture of Bin Laden before the election? How about to further portray the US as a secretive and dangerous manipulator?
