Apparent Atta martyrdom tape emerges
NBC: U.S. has tried unsuccessfully to decipher silent video shot before 9/11

A tape has emerged that appears to show Sept. 11 ringleader Muhammad Atta recording his last will and testament months before the deadly attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, according to NBC News and a report in the London Sunday Times.

The Pentagon and FBI are in possession of a videotape showing Atta together with another 9/11 hijacker, Ziad Jarrah, sources tell NBC News.

U.S. military officials obtained the tape at an al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan after the U.S. invasion of that country in the fall of 2001.

According to the Times, which says it obtained a copy of the tape through a "previously tested source," the video bears the date Jan. 18, 2000 and shows Atta and Jarrah laughing and smiling before Atta delivers a solemn statement marked "the will" in Arabic.

2. 9-11 stuff still shows the Bush admimistration's failure to not

only fight alQadea before 9-11 but also, his failure to get these criminals after 9-11. Rove can keep 9-11 in the news all he wants. The public polls are showing the country knows their failures.

4. Isn't it remarkable?

These guys have so torn up the landscape that they can flaunt their incompetence and still get the base all whipped up in a frenzy of support.

Case in point: Iraq is a complete disaster, Bush says "No it isn't! Look at this report..." and the report says...drumroll please..."Iraq is a complete disaster." WTF?
