OMG! Osama bin Laden Is Dead? I Just Found Out Tonight!
listening to malloy

a david frost interview with Benazir Bhutto in early november

"David Frost interviewed Benazir Bhutto in November of this year, and it’s fascinating to watch. In the interview, she stated that one of the people she suspected of trying to kill her was Omar Sheik, the same man who had killed Osama bin Laden. That little tidbit is about 6:10 minutes into the interview."

(way to go david frost for saying something to the effect of: "What? Did you just say osama bin laden is dead? how do you know this? and are you aware that the american media will not report this to the americans?" -- yeah--david, you ASSHOLE!)

3. Guaranteed miscue
She would never drop such a bombshell in this off-hand fashion, without follow-up.

Her stated views on Al Q and 9/11 never deviated from the official line.

I guarantee you she meant to say, Saeed Sheikh, the man who murdered Daniel Pearl.

8. Why would she be afraid....
of a guy who is still in prison? Saeed Sheikh is sitting in prison trying to appeal his death sentence.

9. Who is going to put out more posthumous tapes: Tupac or Osama?

I think they're running neck and neck now.

13. Through the magic of digital audio,
they're collaborating on a duet album.

14. There have been stories about Bin Laden being dead since late 2001.
Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 03:52 AM by TheWraith
The short version: nobody really knows for sure, since the only sightings we know of have been video tapes, and it's impossible to prove 100% that a person on a video tape is who they claim to be. It's strong evidence that Bin Laden is alive, but not definitive.

It's certainly possible that this Sheik person claimed to have killed Bin Laden, possibly as a PR tactic. How many people in that area would know for sure, or be able to see the videos?

16. You can use old videos of the live bin Laden--
--and put in entirely different sound tracks with voice morphing.

17. A number of bin Laden experts think he's dead. However--
--Robert Fisk thinks he's still alive, and I'm not willing to completely blow off the opinion of one of the few westerners who has interviewed him.

18. Except that they'd still be the old videos. People who've seen both would notice that. NT

21. You can do a lot of slicing and dicing to create one that looks new
So much of the footage is just talking head style anyway--how could you tell if it was old or new?

19. Of course OBL is dead. He hasn't been dragging a dialysis
machine around with him from cave to cave for the last six years! The guy was yellow and sickly looking some 7-8 years ago.

The stories that BushCo shove down our throats are just ridiculous. How'd we manage to "kill" the Al-Queda "number two" guy like 37 times now?
