...more than likely killed in 1998 when Clinton ordered the air strikes. As many have said before, if there was no bin Laden the CIA would have had to invent one. And they did too. Its all smoke and mirrors to cover for Bush and his cabal of criminals as they have and continue to loot our treasury. One does not steal an election for honorable reasons. We have all been sold a bill of goods by old man Bush's CIA. Your rational thinking are belong to me.

Bin Laden tape is old material - French expert

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L11475720.htm

PARIS, Sept 11 (Reuters) - A leading French terrorism expert cautioned on Thursday against taking the latest Osama bin Laden video at face value, saying it was largely an edited collection of old footage and sound tracks that have already been aired. snip

But Roland Jacquard, head of the Paris-based International Observatory on Terrorism, told French radio that the tape was above all a show of defiance on the eve of the September 11 anniversary by al Qaeda number two al-Zawahri.

"We have to be extremely prudent about this message," Jacquard told Europe 1 radio.

"Given that Osama bin Laden has not appeared on a video cassette for many months it's pretty incomprehensible that in the only video cassette where he appears beside Ayman al-Zawahri he doesn't speak, he just allows the latter to speak.

"The voice of bin Laden we hear in the background, thanking the World Trade Center plane hijackers, is exactly the same message that was broadcast in a video cassette by Al Jazeera on 26 December 2001," he said.
