Alleged bin Laden tape: Moussaoui not part of 9/11(Bad bush polls coming?)
Alleged bin Laden tape: Moussaoui not part of 9/11
Voice on tape says two Guantanamo detainees knew of plot

CNN) -- A Web site message purportedly from Osama bin Laden says admitted al Qaeda follower Zacarias Moussaoui had nothing to do with the attacks of September 11, 2001.

"I am certain of what I say, because I was responsible for entrusting the 19 brothers -- Allah have mercy upon them -- with those raids, and I did not assign brother Zacarias to be with them on that mission," the taped statement says.

"And his confession that he was assigned to participate in those raids is a false confession, which no intelligent person doubts is a result of the pressure put upon him for the past four and a half years."

If the tape is confirmed as authentic, it would be the first time that bin Laden has claimed to have personally assigned the jobs for 9/11.

7. Because they're by courier.
A guy drops in out of nowhere and disappears.

Sats can't track that well.

9. Who do you work for? No-one disappears, except Houdini. A Guy? How do
Edited on Tue May-23-06 08:12 PM by Evil Bush
you know it's a guy? Where did you get this intel?
What kind of clothes was he wearing?
From where did he come, to where does he go?
Does he walk or come in a car?
Is the drop point under 24/7 surviellence?
If not, why not?
Who does he give it to?
Is the tape in an envelope?
Where was the envelope made, sold, purchased?
Are there any hairs on the envelope, or dirt, etc.?
What kind of tape is it shot on?
Who is the manufacturer?
Where do they sell it?
Give me 400 billion dollars and I can promise you Bin Laden.
Let's face it, something is very wrong.

10. That was a bit... excessive...
That was not an excuse to unload like that. Asking me where I got this intel. You're expecting a lot.

The people who receive these tapes are citizens of middle eastern countries' media in some capacity, from past information. They're persecuted within their own countries by domestic intelligence services. On the other hand, US intel has very poor human intelligence resources in those countries, making answering the questions you pose to me, as if I should know the answers, impossible for the CIA, DIA, etc, to answer.

And because these are middle eastern countries, and a lot of these media organizations are piddling little things compared to CNN, tracking these drop points 24/7 is an exercise in gross futility because a) they're probably never used twice, b) couriers might be in the business of finding the journalists even when the journalists don't know they're going to get drops. Which makes anticipation hard, by intent.

Beyond that... uh, lay off a bit, I did not post to become your personal enemy.

13. Too true, we don't even get video any more, just audio tapes
I guess I am not surprised given they are way over budget, almost a trillion, for the illegal invasion and occupation in Iraq. Cutbacks everywhere, lol.

23. Hey, OV
If you are sad about what is happening to our beloved country as you told me before, why do you always seem to have an enjoyment of it going on? I don't find having a crazy people goverment fun at all, dude. If it were you, I'd have compassion for you.

17. all great questions - you're just asking for answers from those that have
no way of answering you.

You should send those questions to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and when you do send those, ask another one:

Which part of this is still true:

Six months after he said Osama bin Laden must be caught dead or alive, this president was asked, "Where is Osama bin Laden?"

He said, "I don't know. I don't really think about him very much. I'm not that concerned."


Btw, welcome to DU, Evil Bush!

:hi:

14. I had to laugh, though, it wasn't even "Breaking News" on the
CNN site, not even the top story, roflmao, even they didn't buy it as THE story.

15. I love the way the "experts" all say there is no reason
Edited on Tue May-23-06 10:20 PM by mirandapriestly
to believe that any of the bin laden tapes are not real. Uh, except the one that had someone who was obviously not bin laden in it. He says he was "in charge of the 19 brothers", that just sounds so bogus, I mean they are not even sure about those 19 are they? This is just an attempt to "remind" people that bin laden "really did do" 911. The talking heads say so!

24. Moussaoui is mentally deranged and I suspect...
that he was not part of to the 911 Attack crew. He was a wannabe. Now he will spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement for something he may have wanted to do but didn't do.
