As I watch CNN show the tape from the drone of Bin Laden (supposedly)

[Catherine Vincent]

That was a very grainy video. Do you guys remember the movie "Patriot Games" with Harrison Ford? A scene from that movie showed video from a drone (I suppose) of an IRA camp in Libya and Jack Ryan took the video to one of his CIA techs to clear it up a bit. The tech did such a great job that it was determined one of the people standing there in the sand had boobs.

My question is why is the video we're seeing on tv today isn't more clearer than what it is? Patriot Games was filmed in the early 90s.

1. If they showed the crystal clear version, the television

watching world would collectively shit its pants.

2. Thats showbiz

Hollywood has better equipment than the government.

3. wasn't the Patriot Games thang a satellite? nt

[Cush]

8. think so

4. They filmed "The Rocketeer" in the 80's, but I still don't have a

jet pack.

:P

I think they take alot of creative liberties with technology in film.

5. All I saw was a dude in a ghost costume...

...a teeny white blur, at that....

Oh yeah, and it was "leaked" and someone or other is "outraged"..

Uh huh...

6. For all we know...

it could have been shot in the hills just outside of Hollywood by Murdoch and the boys...

7. More importantly who leaked classified video. This is not

something that just anyone could get a hold of. Only a small highly placed group of people have ever seen this video. This could make the Plame thing look like a day at the beach if Kerry is smart enough to push this.

9. Im glad they could tell this was binladen.

All I seen was blurry pics of people. Should we shoot any people who look like terrorists?

[ulTRAX]

11. proof they are terrorists...

Terrorists are ALWAYS out of focus... kill them all!!! ROTF

10. This is guesswork at best. Proves nothing. A big guy in white robes.
