Doesn't it strike you as odd that al Qaeda's promotional skills all of a sudden mature to the extent that it can launch the premiere of a new Osama Bin Laden tape and draw so much mass media attention worldwide?

9/11 Revisited, the Bin Laden video sequel
By Armando Duke

Houston - The media machine behind the al Qaeda terrorist organization is promoting the latest Osama Bin Laden video which is set to debut on the anniversary of the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001. The public relations tactics eerily echos some sequel right out of Hollywood with they way bin Laden's video is being promoted by the terrorists.

It's almost as if a page were taken right out of the Samuel Goldwyn Studio's manual for film marketing, as if the al Qaeda terrorists were trying to fill theater seats in advance of the video's release, only if they were, you can bet the movie goers were being lured in to kill them all.

Mass media calls it a "propaganda" campaign, but I think the bin Laden video is a page right out of the marketing techniques employed by the mass media itself and the film industry.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that al Qaeda's promotional skills all of a sudden mature to the extent that it can launch the premiere of a new Osama Bin Laden tape and draw so much mass media attention worldwide? Walt Disney would have rolled over in his grave for that kind of global publicity ahead of the launch of Fox Animation Studios animated film, Anastasia.

Is anybody out there in spyland paying attention to that? Are the guys in dark glasses showing up at Sachi and Sachi flashing pics of suspected al Qaeda who've got a background in media or promotion asking if they've seen this dude around the office asking questions? Has perhaps Bin Laden's media camp gone as a front to some of the larger public relations firm in the Middle East and posed marketing situations to them, asking for a detailed outline on what they would do to promote this fake business only to take the information deep into the Afghan mountains and lay it at the feet of bin Laden and say, "Here's what we should do - put out a new video on the anniversary of 9/11 and leak it to the press through this manner. Think of the publicity, Bin, just think!"

Where's James Bond when you need him? It sounds like it would take the fictional master spy to trace down the means by which the al Qaeda terrorist camp has learned to be so artful in marketing audio and video tapes of its top celebrity - Osama bin Laden, and doing it on a shoestring budget. Maybe Chertoff should look for bin Laden in Hollywood, he could be there - wearing shades and working for MGM as a creative consultant.

To starve the people you cut off their food supply and what's happened in the case of the al Qaeda media machine is no one's stopped it from producing its hate videos and audio tapes and pushing them across the Middle East by cutting the terrorists off from the media and marketing machine it has learned to use so well. If al Qaeda were public, its stock would have notched up on the New York Stock Exchange in anticipation of its successful advance promotion of the coming terrorist video feature - Bin Laden, 9/11 Revisited.

Them are the forefathers of AQ

And they were failry media savy

What makes you think that these guys would not be media savy?
