On December 13, 2001 a videotape of Osama bin Laden "confessing" to the 9/11 attacks was made public:
The above article indicates that the videotape was physically located by anti-Taliban forces. |
| The size of a standard VHS videotape
is 7.5 inches wide by 4.2 inches deep by 1 inch high - if
you look in a video cabinet you'll see they're not very
big. The satellite photograph of Jalalabad shows it's
very big and it contains a lot of buildings (not all
single storey). Don't you find it somewhat fortuitous that anti-Taliban forces just happened to stumble across a very small videotape of Osama confessing to the 9/11 attacks in this very big city? Here's what was said of the "lucky find": |

The video was very effective in diverting media attention away from the deportation of five Israelis who danced as the twin towers burned - "Osama" certainly picks his moments to appear.
The quality of the video was very poor and the authenticity of the tape was questioned. This annoyed President Bush:
To be perfectly honest it is preposterous to suggest this videotape could be authentic, but lets have a look at it anyway. Here's 5 Osamas - which is the odd one out?
Even Mr Magoo would have to say that Osama 'E' stands out like a sore thumb, and this is the man on the "confession" tape. Between the nose and the cheeks it is clear that this man is NOT Osama. Osama 'E' appears to write notes with his right hand, yet the FBI's description of Osama indicates he is left-handed. Osama 'E' wears a ring on his right hand which does not appear on other confirmed photos of Osama (e.g. Osama 'B'). Another man wearing a large gold ring is seen in the video. The wearing of gold rings is forbidden by Islam, therefore Osama 'E' has no devotion to this faith. On December 27, 2001, a video containing the pale skinned Osama 'C' was unexpectedly released. His comments caused quite a stir:
This is very odd indeed because in bin Laden's September 28, 2001 denial of involvement in the 9/11 attacks he had plenty to say about the US and Israel:
Not only do Osama 'C' and Osama 'E' look totally different, write with different hands and have different faiths, they also have different priorities. It does not get any more obvious than this. There is clearly good reason to doubt the November 9 tape. There is excessive noise on the audio track, making it impossible to really hear what is being said. Given that the tape was recorded in an area supposedly devoid of audio urban signature, there should have been little ambient noise, yet the speech is masked with a great deal of noise. Then there is a gap in the audio track, reminiscent of Nixon's missing 18 minutes, and the truths it once contained which are lost forever to history. Doubts have already been raised regarding the correct translation of the speaker's words into "We", when his words could also mean "They". But there are very good reasons to suspect that the tape is not what the US Government claims it to be. In the tape, Osama supposedly states that he knew of the attack on the WTC 5 days in advance, yet we know from the preparations inside the United States that the plan had been in existence for much longer than that. The records of those flight schools where the hijackers supposedly trained have been confiscated under the watchful eye of Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida and brother to the President. Will the Bush administration now claim that the hijackers learned to fly a passenger jet in just 5 days? Likewise, The translation of the Osama tape has him stating that the hijackers did not know they were about to die, yet letters the FBI claim to have found written by the hijackers indicate the exact opposite. Then too there were the numerous words added to the translation in parenthesis to alter and redirect the meaning of the translated words. Finally, this was not the first video tape claiming to be evidence against Osama to surface, and the public is well aware that the claims made regarding the earlier "confession" tape, including a claim that Osama had nukes, were created by the translator, not actually stated by Osama. As quoted in the Associated Press, Al-Muhajiroun is reporting that the video tape is actually years old; the target being discussed is not the World Trade Towers, but a target inside Saudi Arabia. Even hard line secular Pakistanis are unconvinced. Iqbal Haider, a former senator from the party of ousted prime minister Benazir Bhutto, said he found it hard to believe that bin Laden would allow himself to be filmed confessing to the crime. "It is hard to believe that a man who masterminds the September attacks which such secrecy and finesse could be that stupid and imprudent," he said. "I hate Osama and the Taliban because they inflicted incalculable damage on Muslims ... but it is hard to digest that he can be such a fool." You are being lied to by the US Government. They are using deception to trick you into surrendering your freedoms, money, and the lives of your children for a phony "War On Terror". |
