    Although CNN could not independently confirm the authenticity of the video, it did feature the logo of As-Sahab Media, the company that traditionally handles al Qaeda communications to the public.

    The 47-minute videotape was obtained by terrorism expert Laura Mansfield before it was to appear on several Islamist Web sites known for carrying statements from al Qaeda and other radical groups.

      Why has no one come out yet to say that either of these tapes is authentic?

      Hint: because they're not

      They "believe" the tapes are authentic? geez, give us some scientific proof one way or another

      Quote: The 47-minute videotape was obtained by terrorism expert Laura Mansfield before it was to appear on several Islamist Web sites known for carrying statements from al Qaeda and other radical groups. End of quote.

      Anyone having a bit of a problem with that statement? I mean exactly what does this mean? Obtained? How do you obtain something like that? Who alerts you to it. How? In what form do you obtain it? An AVI file? A dvd disc? Why isnt the one that is providing the media under very serious scrutiny/investigation?

      If someone somewhere on the planet created a digital video or transfered to digital from analog media there would be some kind of electronic trace /fingertip of the computer where the file was originated or what program was used etc. All you have to do is follow the chain of events that digitally lead to the final so called obtained video and then suddenly you have a number of hot spots you can trace back. So again guys what is wrong here message after message?

        I think you have good reason to believe he is dead. Whatever happened to holding up a recent newspaper to prove time frame, assuming it is Bin Laden?

        "comparing the current image with past images I think this curent image is a fake... or a duplicate binladen... someone made up to look like him, because the real bin landed is dead..... er.. just my opinion."

        Lets see, humm, "they" want you to believe OBL is still alive so "they" find "some guy" and put makeup on him so that he "looks" like OBL and intentually dyed his beard and hair black and gave him a tan so that the "fake" dosen't actually look like OBL and causes suspicions that the Pic is a fake. Thus creating the belief that OBL is dead?

        Is this a Rube Goldberg plot?

      It's curious that the hyjacker Waleed al-shehri that Bin Laden praises is not on the Flight Manifest of AA Fl 11, perhaps he just slipped on board while no one was looking.

            A squib? How stupid are you?

            Unless your within a few feet of a squib going off you wouldn;t hear it or see it.

            Squibs range in size, anywhere from 2 to 15 millimeters in diameter. They look like ;fire crackers;.

            Squibs were originally made from parchment tubes, or the shaft of a feather filled with fine black powder and sealed at the ends with wax. These were inserted into the touch holes of a cannon and used to ignite the main propellant charge.

            Squibs were first used to simulate bullet impacts in the 1957 film "Run of the Arrow", where for the first time audiences were subjected to a realistic representation of a bullet impacting on an on-camera human being, complete with blood spatter

            how practical. Let me get this straight. Its kind of like a major CD or DVD release right? You stock up the stores weeks ahead of time with the product, but you officially release it on a certain day. I struggle to even bother discussing this blatant engram/PTSD/fear mongering NAZI tactics being used. I must however be a voice of my time and make these direct notes to these subjects that are so apparent. I would not want history to show that I was actually falling for these lies. On that note, go get my CD and play it real loud...it sound the way it sound on purpose.

                No - they probably wouldn't spread the word. If we didn't have Osama, who would we use as a boogyman? SOMEONE has to be the poster boy for this "war." It's much too difficult to sell a war against "terror" without an embodiment.

                And how many years was that cop killer from Boston? on the run from the vietnam anti war days before she turned herself in? All he has to do is make one mistake above ground once,if he's still alive and he'll be captured or know what hellfire is all about when he sees Jehovah.

              If, in fact, Osama is still alive, he sure isn't making any effort to convince anyone of that fact. This deal looks very much to me like a fake. Putting audio over a still photo is a good way to avoid having to synch the voice artist with the old video.

                And let's not forget that Bin baby was trained AND armed by our very own C.I.A. to fight the Russians. That effectively makes him a mercenary for our government. His face only really shows up when they feel they have to make people feel afraid. So what now...the 911 event that will usher in the attack on Iran. Don't forget the bush version of Hitler's enabling act. One more stunt like that and he takes total control. And If he starts another war, he doesn't have to leave office.

                  "Bin baby" was not trained by the CIA. The U.S. did help the Afgan rebels fight the Russians but there was no direct training involved

                  How does that work? Another war (or a new front on the existing war) would be cause for repealing the 22nd amendment?

                I would feel a lot better if it were not for the fact that this and all the 3 earlier videos that proved to be frauds, were not handled, downloaded, and translated by the Northeast Intelligence Network. This is clearly a zionist organization headed by such notarized persons as Lee kaplan, the founder of the extreme zionist group, the Dafka, and is so Pro Israel as to never, and I repeat, never to give an Arab any good press at all. The man simply hates Muslims too much to ever be unbiased. As he is obviously Israel minded, I feel his efforts cannot be trusted. The same could be said of his predecessor Laura Mansfield, who supplied the translations for the earlier videos. Israel wants this turmoil in the middle east, and it serves its purposes to keep Bin Laden as a threat. How can this source ever be trusted for the truth? More Israeli intel like that used by Bush to legitimise his Iraq invasion, and we all saw how flawed that intel was.

                  AmericanIdiot sent me a private message over this comment, accusing me of anti-semitism. I simply stated facts about who translates these things. Who downloads these things and then who leaks these things to the medias. These are facts. These people presented the other 3 videos which were proven fraud. They made the bad translations of farsi/persian that inflamed everyone against Iran for saying something they didn't say. Pointing this out is not anti-semitic. They also helped supply Bush with his faulty intel leading to the Iraq invasion. Prudence dictates that these people cannot be trusted to be qualified to supply these things unless it is thoroughly checked out. I think failing to verify information is asking for trouble.

                  And as noted by Joeblowe above, this is a still photo with added audio. The photo is said to be computer enhanced to darken the beard and make him appear more robust, whatever that means. How easy is it to simply have the dialogue manufactured onto any device from snips and pieces of other speeches? I see it all the time. Where is proof of dating, like the newspaper also mentioned by Joe. How about a second counter on the video to show any altering effects? Sorry, this stuff isn't hollywood enough yet. If OBL went through the time to even make an audio, why not an actual video as well, instead of a still photo imposed onto video? I think it's going to turn out as another fraud tape. But who keeps making these tapes and why? Sorry, the earlier referrence post was Big G's.

                      How about Al Queda to inspire the barbarians? That was the purpose of the first one,at least, wasn't it? This last one appears to the naked eye like a 6th grade girl's attempt to make grandpa more beautiful. Yuck. They need to get a 3 chip camera. Suggest e-bay, ship via ups, pay by credit card, identify purchaser as OBL,Pakistan-Kashmir border region. My guess.

                      This also could be a signal to operatives to begin the operation. There are some who believe he gives warnings, and has to say convert before he kills you. The proper, gentlemanly Islamo-fascist.

                    Osama and Bush are like Superman and Lex Luther. Both need each other to survive. Osama gave Bush everything he wanted, and Bush gave Osama everything HE wanted. A match made in hell.

                      Before 911 Bush's biggest fear was strangling on a pretzel. Do you really think he wanted this? Would you? Reasonable men need to put themselves in other peoples shoes before making statements like yours.

                        It is not unusual for people in the middle east to darken their beards..it is all part of their macho male image BS. He probably darked his beard to cause debate in this country as to the tapes origin.

                          True. Many Middle Eastern women have darkened their beards in an effort to attract a suitable husband.

                        We will have elections while we are at war. It is not usual that we would change parties in the election. This is especially true when we have a Republican who understands National Security, and a weak woman, or a former Muslim running on the Democrat ticket.

                            The last 4 or 5 years, OBL has NOT been a priority for our president, now on the anniversary of 9/11, all i have seen on the news is how powerful AlQuada has become, building their armies, yada yada!! OBL and AlQuada have not been important until the LAST days of Bushies term, and suddenly yet again, everyone is being expected to cower to the threat of OBL and AlQuada.

                            More scare tactics! Bush needs to get some new material!
