Those 'martyrdom' videos, w/o audio w/Atta in them. The US gov't

[babylonsister]

found 'em in 2001. Why are they just being released now?
Does no one wonder about this?
And a treasure trove of info :wtf: when there's not even audio?
I'm not getting the significance.

1. There is no audio because...

It would show that the two guys were NOT really who the government claims they were, and that they were laughing over the Sunday funnies.

2. I think

that the video AND the Foley thing are meant to distract from the Congress abandoning our constitution and declaring the US a military state.

The Foley thing could have come out at any time, as well.

As far as the video - Isn't this a Great :sarcasm: headline -> Hijackers smile and joke in 2000 video footage ?

It puts the "evil" focus on the "hijackers" instead of Bush & Co. What terrible people they must have been for smiling and joking, right?

Of course Bush & Co can write laws saying the Military has full control over whether they hold anyone accountable for raping people in the so-called process of interrogations. Also - they can laugh and joke all they want. They can laugh and joke about Iraq and all of the death and mayhem. Bush joked about the lost "weapons of mass destruction" and (some) people thought it was hilarious.

The new video is just nonsense - another smokescreen.

3. Another smokescreen - that's it! I wish the media whores wouldn't

put so much emphasis on this nothing story.

4. Because they were supposedly from 18 months before the attacks...

Who was president then? It's an attempt at saying "Hey, if Clinton had stopped this we wouldn't be living in a post 9/11 world."

It's a joke. A ridiculous joke that further makes us look like fools to the rest of the world.

5. I missed Clinton's complicity. //Smacks head\\ I should have

realized. But it is a joke considering they've had this for 5 years, and suddenly they're rolling it out.
Is it just me, or do their attempts at terra spin seem weaker and weaker lately? Their lying must be pooping them out.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Much weaker... as more become immune to it.

As so many more realize how they have been had. The liquids on airplanes ban and then reinstatement was the silliest yet.

7. It is amazing how little information there is on it

I am especially curious what Jarrah's family says - they had been insisting that Ziad Jarrah could not have been one of the terrorists and denied it was his voice on the Flight 93 recorder - does this convince them or do they say it's not him?

8. This was to be the opening salvo of Rover's "October Surprise"

Their whole spleef was to be to paint the dems as weak on security and to establish a line from the "Path to 9-11" and its false assertions about Clinton-which, even proven false, would be endlessly repeated by the goons and idiots--to the present day democratic candidates.

The Denial book and Foley's Follies have pretty well jumbled that argument, although I am sure they will still attempt to pull it off. Teeth gritting determination is a particularly strong point of Cheney's.

Step back a moment and the whole sorry scenario comes into focus. Ten weeks of Rove's Ridiculous riot could have hammered democratic hopes pretty well.

9. This story appeared in the London Sunday Times, a Rupert Murdoch paper...

So, Fox News in the U.S. reports on a Times (UK) exclusive -- thus, a Murdoch entity "reporting" on content in another Murdoch entity. Talk about wall-to-wall right-wing coverage!

<snip>
Rupert Murdoch's News International acquired the Times titles in 1981, but the Conservative government never referred the purchase to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission, mainly because the previous owners, The Thomson Corporation, had threatened to close the papers down if they were not taken over by someone else within an allotted time, and it was feared that any legal delay to Murdoch's takeover might lead to the two titles' demise. This was despite the fact that the takeover gave Murdoch the control of four national newspapers; The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun and the News of the World. News Corp also owns the Fox Network. News International is the majority shareholder of BSkyB and James Murdoch is CEO.
