Thanks for the pro confirmation of what most people with an ounce of common sense thought: that's one big, not so good, fake.

Now I think the guy should run the same analysis on Keith Olbermann and his "Countdown" show.

I mean, it's obvious all his shows are not very good re-edits of stuff he did in 2004.

Clearly Keith Olberman is DEAD! (Well, he is to me! And to the ratings!)

The throatcutters are more western than we think. Now THEY watch reruns of their favorite shows too.

Just because the video is patched and spliced, does not make it "fake" - meaning it was something bin laden did not authorize to be sent as a message from him.

 See, that's the other PROBLEM claiming "it's fake".

 So, some al jazeera geek was hired to patch some crap together because they're only able to get audio snuck through...

 Or maybe it is our lovely CIA agencies best work. I actually would not be surprised, to tell you the truth. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a "compartmentalized" job either, that all of the other 32 CIA had no idea was set to occur, and that now are expending resources on.

 That's how I feel about the whole schmear. I've seen even small organizations being so stinted in information sharing, and basically NOONE wants to know anything, because they consider it "more work" or then it's "their responsibility" since they were informed, etc etc. They certainly don't want anyone knowing "how to do their job" - my gawd guard that with their life and lies, because that's called "job security".

 I can just imagine the same thing in 33 intel agencies that all are supposed to guard top secret information. I think of 33 Rosie's each sitting on their lazy chair and only 4 bags of Dorito intel chips to go around.

Nice write-up with little known facts, the author of The Looming Tower shares little known information, a great read :

"

From hiding places in Iran, Yemen, Iraq, and the tribal areas of western Pakistan, Al Qaeda’s survivors lamented their failed strategy. Abu al-Walid al-Masri, a senior leader of Al Qaeda’s inner council, later wrote that Al Qaeda’s experience in Afghanistan was “a tragic example of an Islamic movement managed in an alarmingly meaningless way.” He went on, “Everyone knew that their leader was leading them to the abyss and even leading the entire country to utter destruction, but they continued to carry out his orders faithfully and with bitterness.”

In June, 2002, bin Laden’s son Hamzah posted a message on an Al Qaeda Web site: “Oh, Father! Where is the escape and when will we have a home? Oh, Father! I see spheres of danger everywhere I look. . . . Tell me, Father, something useful about what I see.”

“Oh, son!” bin Laden replied. “Suffice to say that I am full of grief and sighs. . . . I can only see a very steep path ahead. A decade has gone by in vagrancy and travel, and here we are in our tragedy. Security has gone, but danger remains.”

 The expulsion from Afghanistan, Suri later wrote, was followed by “three meager years which we spent as fugitives,” dodging the international dragnet by “moving between safe houses and hideouts.” In 2002, he fled to eastern Iran, where bin Laden’s son Saad and Al Qaeda’s security chief, Saif al-Adl, had also taken refuge. There was a five-million-dollar bounty on his head."

"Suri" > Later, he moved to Jordan, where he joined the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group that opposed Syria’s dictator, Hafez al-Assad. In 1982, Assad decided that the Brotherhood posed a threat to his authority, and his troops slaughtered as many as thirty thousand people in the city of Hama, one of the group’s strongholds. The ruthlessness of Assad’s response shocked Suri. He renounced the Brotherhood, which he held responsible for provoking the destruction of Hama, and took refuge in Europe for several years. In 1985, he moved to Spain, where he married and became a Spanish citizen; two years later, he found his way to Afghanistan, where he met Osama bin Laden.

The two men have had a contentious relationship. Although Suri became a member of Al Qaeda’s inner council, he grew disillusioned by the fecklessness and the disorganization that characterized Al Qaeda’s training camps in Afghanistan. “People come to us with empty heads and leave us with empty heads,” he wrote. “They have done nothing for Islam. This is because they have not received any ideological or doctrinal training.”

In 1992, he moved back to Spain, where he helped to establish a terrorist cell that played a part in the planning of September 11th. Two years later, Suri moved to England. He soon became a fixture in the Islamist press in London, writing articles for the magazine Al Ansar, which promoted the insurgency in Algeria that resulted in more than a hundred thousand deaths. The magazine’s editor was Abu Qatada, a Palestinian cleric who has been characterized as Al Qaeda’s spiritual guide in Europe. Al Ansar was, in many ways, the first jihadi think tank; Suri and other strategists suggested tactics for undermining the despotic regimes in the Arab world, and they promoted attacks on the West even as American and European intelligence agencies were largely unaware ...

This Suri character can write for a VISIBLE paper in Europe - in London ... WOW.

 I guess some portions of the west like the "pressure" on the despotic regimes (saudi arabia , egypt) as well, or are just so liberalized and pathetic.... it's bad whatever the reasons are. 

Once again our "intelligence" agencies have shown to be pretty pathetic. This is just like when a handwriting analyst showed that Vince Foster's "suicide note" back in 1993 was forged, but the FBI claimed it to be legitimate.

And the Democrats want this kind of government running every portion of our lives? You'd think people would wake up.
