A CLOSE LOOK
Now they came up with a videotape that "proves"
Bin Laden was behind 9/11
It was (supposedly) shot by an amateur with a camcorder in a private home.
It has very poor video and sound quality, is not well translated,
but we are all supposed to take it as Gospel.
Why did this tape surface now? And don't they have BETTER proof?
He could have been talking about bananas in Bolivia, for all we know.
I want iron-clad evidence before the military forces of
my "homeland" bombs other countries into oblivion.
Don't you?

On the TV news just now President Bush responded to reports of people
who dare question the authenticity of the Bin Laden Video as
"...just a feeble excuse to provide weak support for an incredibly evil man."

Anyone who questions the government is supporting terrorism, then?
Anybody else getting scared yet?
John Ashcroft's recent remarks are also unsettling, in essence
calling anyone who questions or criticizes our government a traitor
Isn't that really what the First Amendment gives us the right to do?
A government that cannot be questioned is not free.

ANALYSIS OF
BIN LADEN VIDEO
This is an article by Carol Valentine.
The Taliban Home Video
I disagree with some of her views, especially about Israel,
but otherwise she's dead-bang on target.

I heard Cokie Roberts on the news this morning talking about Bin Laden.
When asked about those who doubt the validity of the incriminating video
of Bin Laden, she said, "I think that's just ridiculous."
(Well, she's paid VERY well to think that.)
She also noted how "those conspiracy theories are always out there."
Anyone who questions the government is a "conspiracy theorist."
In other words, crazy.
Then, commenting on a skit from Saturday Night Live, she said,
"I think the best thing we can do is to just make fun of this guy as a
pathetic loser. That's the best way to discredit him."
"Discredit" him? If he's guilty, why do we need to discredit him?
Now anyone who doubts anything our media tells us is crazy and laughable.
That's the perfect way to stifle dissent. Get the public to "police" itself.
You know, now that I see just how hard they're trying to make dissent
synonymous with "crazy", "loser", "laughable", "traitor", "terrorist" and "evil"
my doubt level increases.
Thought itself is being policed. Especially critical thought.
Example of critical thinking: Bin Laden and his pals had plenty of money
to buy good camcorders, so why is the tape so garbled and blurry?
If someone did a Cut&Paste video, a good way to hide errors in continuity
and even distort dialog is to distort the videotape itself. If it's blurry,
grainy and garbled, you can't distinguish one scene from another.
And forget about the dialog.
Again, why is the tape of such poor quality? It was found in a private home?
It should be in good condition, then.
The CIA specializes in handling audio/video media.
They wouldn't let anything happen to a perfectly good piece of evidence.
DOCTORED BUSH VIDOTAPE SHOWS HOW EASY IT IS TO DO
Note: this tape is a fake created by two Australians
that demonstrates how easy it is to alter video
evidence.

Remember, the CIA has Billion dollar super computers that, even using the latest
micro-miniaturized components, still fill many rooms and use enough electricity
to power a small city. If they started at least two months ago,
they could produce a video thay can pass the most advanced fourier transform
analysis. Face it. A 25 processor computer is no match for a
building-size super computer; it takes a super computer to detect
a cut & paste video made by another super computer.
Then again, maybe they don't NEED to make good-quality videos.
All they have to do is give us what we want to see.

Now there seems to be a flood of "new" Bin Laden videos. Why now? Why so many?
And why does he appear dressed in AMERICAN GI CAMOFLAGE? The uniform
of his enemy?
Western culture is anathema to Osama. Wouldn't he choose to wear
traditional Mid-East clothing?
Understood, woodland camo is synonymous with "soldier", but don't
you think he would prefer to dress like an Al Qaeda/Taliban?
With so many Osama videos now bombarding the airwaves, maybe Nike or Pepsi
might use him in commercials?
"Running from the infidels requires serious footwear. That's why I wear NIKE."
On a more serious note, in one of the new "Osama Productions" a gaunt,
eerily ghost-like Bin Laden calls for the destruction of America, which he
is certain will happen. Further, in a perverse mockery of the famous
Martin Luther King "I have a dream" speech, he implies that he won't live
to see it happen, but that his "physical existence" is no longer needed.
Thus Bin Laden is now immortalized as a grave threat to our "very survival"
and he will live on in spirit with all the countless, faceless terrorists
who will continue to threaten America.
That's where the real danger to our freedom lies; the IDEA of Bin Laden's
influence, the danger is being used as an excuse to take away more
and more of our rights.
