Mohammad Atta put out a martyr tape...story out today...hmm

[cynatnite]

:eyes: Funny, that this is just now coming to light.

LONDON - A previously unseen video made by Mohamed Atta, ringleader of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, has been obtained by Britain's The Sunday Times, the newspaper reported Saturday.

In editions available late Saturday, the paper said it had been handed the so-called martyrdom video, but did not reveal the source of the tape.

It reported that Atta was filmed reading a document marked in Arabic as a will as he sat beside fellow hijacker Ziad Jarrah — who seized control of United Airlines flight 93, which crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pa.

The newspaper said that a timecode stamp on the videotape indicated it had been recorded on January 18, 2000 and the recording was made at an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan.

1. I thought they had a REAL martyrdom video of the guy

Ya know, all dressed in his shroud, carping about how he didn't want women touching his dead body or preparing it for burial (what a fucking putz, like there would be anything left), and waving a gun for good measure....

Eh...do they think this news will distract from "PageGate?" If so, they'd better think again...

[madmusic]

16. "PageGate?" You got it!

[Kutjara]

2. I wonder if he says something like...

..."I sure hope none of you American dogs votes Republican in any election, because the Republicans would make it very difficult for terrorists like me. As I was saying to my close personal friend and enabler Saddam Hussein only yesterday, 'We can do what we like to the Great Satan with all those Democrats in power.' He twirled his mustache, laughed and said, 'Indeed my young friend. Without the super powers endowed by Republican leadership, America is as defenseless as a baby.' I'm only sorry I won't get to see if Taylor Hicks wins American Idol...er...no...that hasn't happened yet. Never mind. Now how do you rollback the date stamp on this thing?"

I think the search for the source of the tape can begin in and around Langley.

10. just what I was thinking

ding ding ding

[bluerum]

3. So - this just happens to roll out after the Foley mushroom cloud.

What? Did someone pick it up off the shelf and say "Hey - we forgot all about this! May as well show it to people now."

[MadMaddie]

4. It is getting pathetic isn't it....it's interesting how many tapes that

they have....the last couple of negative events by the Repugs and a tape pops out...

5. 01/18/2000, so Clinton was still President. How convenient.

[cynatnite]

6. Certainly is...

This will lead off on tomorrow morning's talk shows.

[MADem]

17. I don't think so....unless Atta is waving his weenie and doing a humpahump

while gazing at a pic of the Monkey....

America is RIPE for some sleazy, disgraceful, fetid, horrible scandal. And dammit, we want it on our Sunday political TALK shows!!! Hell, the GOP were the ones that gave us a taste for it, and they shouldn't be surprised that we want to satisfy the craving for an outrageous tale of polticians behaving badly.

We've had the portly pepperpot, but she's a tired old gal compared to the creepy guy with excessively groomed eyebrows and the young lad!!!

[cynatnite]

20. Good point!

:rofl: You're killing me with the imagery.

7. Somebody needs to tell KKKarl they aren't going to

bite on the Cheez Whiz anymore.

[Bluebear]

8. Funny, they look so much OLDER than their passport pictures!

;)

9. 9-11! 9-11! Booga-booga! *cough* Propaganda *cough*

Same as crying 'Wolf' over & over again -- has no real meaning anymore
Especially with an empty & deserted Ground Zero... by their non-action they've proved their belief that the "sacred" site itself means nothing at all, just the overused rhetoric with which they continually try to scare the populace.

And the biggest sin by far is against the memory of each & every being that lost their life at that blighted place.
With their uncared-about (by our alleged "Compassionate Conservatives" *gag*), extraneous body parts mouldering in some unknown dump -- although still held precious & mourned of by some frustrated, powerless, used families.


(Pardon horrid grammar -- after the past few days events, am too emotionally fatigued to work through the tortured syntax. I hope the meaning is at least somewhat clear.)

[cynatnite]

11. Makes perfect sense...

It has seemed to me, for a while now, that because they politicized 9/11 as much as they have, it's made it even more difficult for this country to heal. They want to not just keep us in a state of fear, but also anger. People can only sustain those emotions for so long.

They did not want us to ask 'Why?' which is what most victims do at some point during the process.

They never helped this country heal which is disgraceful.

[Jensen]

12. It took 5 years to find a Atta look alike!!!

[rzemanfl]

13. Plastic surgery can take some time and they had to teach him

Arabic. Cut'em some slack.

[Jensen]

15. Right on!

I forgot about the Arabic!;)

[MADem]

18. Nope, there's no SOUND on the opus!!!! EOM

[rzemanfl]

19. What? A silent movie? n/t

[MADem]

21. Yep!!! ...."There was no soundtrack, the newspaper said.

It quoted an unnamed U.S. source as saying that attempts to lip read the tape to transcribe the content had been unsuccessful."

[rzemanfl]

23. Hard to learn Arabic, probably just hired a fundy to speak in

tongues so it couldn't be lip read. Or, maybe they fired all the Arabic lip readers for being gay. Who knows?

[jimshoes]

14. How many times are we

supposed to be scared of 9-11. It's over. It's in the past. Hey you scared me once, I got over it. Pssst karl, did you hear about the Foley affair?

[Dem2theMax]

22. "but did not reveal the source of the tape."

Oh that KKKKKKKKKarl. He's a busy boy this weekend. Even had time to make a tape.
I sure hope he's taking good care of himself.
I don't want him dropping dead before he does his prison time. :evilgrin:
