New Al Qaeda Tape Surfaces Despite US Efforts to Block It

Cyber War as US Disrupts Terrorists' Propaganda Effort
By BRIAN ROSS, REHAB EL-BURI and RICH ESPOSITO
September 19, 2008

Al Qaeda's annual September 11 propaganda video surfaced today, delayed eight days by a concerted US effort to block it.
Video is released despite U.S. efforts to block it.

The tape showed no new pictures or statements from Osama bin Laden, although an al Qaeda figure was interviewed saying bin Laden was in "good health."

Al Qaeda also showed a video 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.

1. I would guess that Bush & Buddies weren't necessarily trying to block the video...
just delay it by about six weeks.

3. hello friend
Delay?
I'll take your reply on faith, but I suspect 8 weeks was the time they wanted to hold up the footage.

2. Isn't it amazing
... how Brian Ross of ABC News always just happens to end up with these stories whose only purpose is to terrorize you. I wonder what he's getting on the side.

4. often, when someone is "getting it on the side" all they get is...
VD or pregnant.
By the way, when it comes to terror, it takes alot more than basic ABC lies to terrorize me.
