Check it out. They're trying to figure out if it's really him. It was just being broadcast on Al-Jazeera.

sorry, they just showed the live feed for a second. His voice sounded WAAAY too high for Bin-Laden, but maybe that was just me.

I think I liked it better when he was an acual person instead of a concept. Concepts have too much power.

Someone in Karl Rove's office has been VERY busy with his new video editing software!

And who holds the casting couch for "terrorist types"?

Holy Sh!t! He's trying to absolve himself to Americans!!
He says, "if no other country attacks us, we will not attack them."
WTF! He says that he wants to explain to America why he decided to attack the WTC.
Turn to CNN NOWW!!!!!!!!!

He says that he understands that we are now in an election time and that our security is now in OUR hands. [deleted] sorry, too much cursing

Dammit people! Turn to CNN!

His attempt to absolve himself was like a veiled threat. "Your security is in the hands of your own foreign policy". Why can't we find and kill this man?!?

I['ve been watching Msnbc.. VERY interesting.

they're syaing that this is unlike any other tape we've received because instead of being a threat cloaked in tons of Islamic religious metaphors, it's a direct, straight to the camera, metaphorless address to the American people. Fundamentalists are already saying that this is a "victory" for Al Qaeda b/c it proves that their leader is still alive.

I've been watching for about 10 minutes, so far the commentators are just repeating themselves.

"Your security is not in the hands of Bush or Kerry or Al-Qaeda. It is in your hands."

US officials say there is no reason to elevate the terror threat level yet.

[B.B. Wolf]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:35pm

Before, it was briefly mentioned in the vid that the reason why he attacked the towers was because of some invasion by Israel (sorry, I'll listen for more info on this part).
Holy crap. There are already pundits trying to put a spin on this tape!

The Israeli invasion of Lebanon! He said that when he saw the towers of Beirut fall, he had the thought to crash planes into the twin towers.
