Al Qaeda released its annual September 11 propaganda video today, part of which it said was captured from a US bounty hunter, Keith "Jack" Idema, as he appeared to threaten to kill an Afghani citizen during an interrogation. The tape was delayed eight days by a concerted US effort to block it and showed no new pictures or statements from Osama bin Laden, although an al Qaeda figure was interviewed saying bin Laden was in "good health."

Idema was later convicted by an Afghan court and sentenced to prison there. He maintained at his trial that he was secretly working for US intelligence in the hunt for bin Laden, an assertion flatly denied by US officials.

Gosh, those wily hackers!

12. just because it was a hacker doesn't mean it wasn't the usa.

Kids from my computer classes were recruited to hack for the army back in 1985. It still goes on.

10. So they were so busy making up this tape that they let a planned attack on the US Embassy

just pass right by them.

Or, going the conspiracy theorist route, they knew about it, let it happen, hoping that it would give McCain an edge. However, with the huge financial crisis, it hasn't gotten much play.

4. Fox News is reporting that bin Laden is in the video

apparently he is in the background, wearing an Obama '08 button :P :eyes:

9. YEAH Riiiiight....

at a moment when McCain needs a terrorist "crisis"... this videotape "appears"...

Hmmm. hmmmm.'


Riiiiiight... the "US" tried to "block it". Ewww kay.

McCain is desperate... needs an "October Surprise" to scare the shit out of everyone.

Sorry... don't buy it... don't believe it's real.
