Everyone there is completely innocent, he says. Except for two guys who were in on the whole thing. What do you suppose the odds are that one or both of them were among the fifteen Saudis we released last week?
No matter. If they weren’t part of that group, they’ll probably be part of the next one.
Captain Ed wonders why the AP would omit the passage about the two accomplices from its excerpts of the tape when they mentioned it in their article. The omission isn’t quite as glaring as he implies (he accuses the AP of using an ellipsis to cut off the sentence that mentions the accomplices, when in fact the elliptical sentence comes from an entirely different paragraph) but the larger point is a good one. What gives?

Well, now, if you can’t trust a guy responsible for murdering a few thousand people, who can you trust, really?

Again, what the liberal media didn’t mention -of course- about Bin Laden’s tape is that he implied that the Democrats, once in power, will “free” the “muslim brothers” from Guantanamo.
I listened to the tape in its original language.
By the way, since all audio and video tapes of Al Qaeda and affiliates appeared, none were honestly reported in the media.
There were always omissions, lies, so as to cover up the incapability of the intelligence community (when these tapes were released from the U.S. government after founding them), or simply inacurate translation.
You are going to have to learn Arabic to discover for yourself the meaning of the message in its original language.
Usually the Arabic used in these messages is not easy to understand by a beginner.
The Koran itself is not an easy book to read. Lay Muslims have a very hard time understanding its difficult Arabic words.

All innocent? Sure, I will buy the idea that a few, even some are innocent, but all but two are innocent? That streaches the imagination a bit far don’t you think?
Of course, if you can’t believe a loon who has dedicated his life to slaughtering non believers in his cult, who can you believe?

I’m not a big fan of George Weasel Bush (obviously), I think he has a weak personality, I don’t agree with him on many issues especially his immigration reform (i.e. amnesty), BUT I can say that America is lucky to have a sitting Republican Administration after September 11, 2001.
Dear reader, what you don’t know is that the Muslim Terrorists -sleeping cells here in America, and those operating in the open around the world- are having a terrible and horrible bad time because of Bush. I would argue that they hate Bush more than they hate America, so to speak.
The Muslim Terrorists are monitoring our political situation here at home, they know everything about us.
From reading their messages, listening to their conversations and monitoring their movements, I can assure you that they can’t wait for the day when the Democrats will take over the Governemnt.
The nightmare caused by Bush will dissipate and they will be back to their “normal” operations.
Yes, I don’t like many of Bush’s domestic policies, and I thought that the invasion of Iraq and its aftermath was poorly planned, but on the issue of hunting and disrupting Al Qaeda’s money trails and plots, Bush did a very good job so far and I would feel insecure if, and it is likely, the Democrats take over.
It will be a celebration for Al Qaeda and its affiliates, (even for every Muslim around the world and here in America) and a disaster for America.
God have mercy on this country and save her from the Democrats and Al Qaeda!

Thanks be to Allah for the Breitbart link with the full text. Bin Laden says that “all the prisoners of Guantanamo, who were captured in 2001 and the first half of 2002 and who number in the hundreds, have no connection whatsoever to the events of September 11th, and even stranger is that many of them have no connection with al-Qaida in the first place, and even more amazing is that some of them oppose al- Qaida’s methodology of calling for war with America.”
Note that “many” have no connection to al-Qaida, which means that “most” might be well connected, just not in on the 9/11 plans.
“So the conclusion is that all the prisoners to date have no connection with the events of September 11th and knew nothing about them, with the exception of two of the brothers, may Allah free them all.” I’m going to go out on a limb and say the “two brothers” he refers to here are Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh. They’re not at Gitmo, but they are U.S. prisoners. They were definitely part of the 9/11 plot.

These pronouncements emanating from TERRORIST CENTRAL must be presumed to have a certain operational content. They are designed to further the aggressive attainment of the political objectives of TERRORIST CENTRAL. The basest falsehoods become objectively “TRUTHS” when clothed with the Terrorists’ motivations arising from the sacredotal ideology of the Wahhabbi Sect of Islam. The usual targets of this disinformation are the influential members of The Left Media Cartel, who are predisposed to believe the worst about their own governments, when such governments have not been improperly indoctrinated with the strange World Views provided by The Left Media Cartel. The Terrorists’ dirty schemes seem to be well founded in a profound understanding of the psychology of the shallow Thinkers advocating today’s fashionable Liberal Superstitions. The Terrorists will never cease to scratch those itches.

Oh, well why didn’t ya say so before? I mean, if osammy bin hidin says it then it must be true. Release all islamaniacs except the two mentioned.
What kinda moron are we dealin’ with here anyway? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the moon and rock worshippin’ kinda moron.
Save this nation, vote Republican. Or, vote Dhemmicrat and bow to mecca (and MeCHA).

If the Dems and MSM had their way we would put these prisoners on a fast track to citizenship.

Gitmo, that institution run by “Nazi Marines” (according to Sen. Dick Durban) is filled with killer sociopaths (and they aren’t the Marines!) In a “kinder, gentler” pander bear world we have become obseqious to “Muslim sensibilities” and euphemistically call these serial killers, religious nuts and immoral and amoral pieces of excrement “detainees”. Furthermore we let UN hypocrats (many with track records little better than the “detainees”) criticize us for our “cruelty”. Translation: The “detainees” are not being served steak and shrimp on fine china. Poor babies.
The bottom line here is that turning these murdering monsters free is just as irresponsible as turning rabid dogs loose on a crowded city street.

I just keep wondering, why are we broadcasting his messages at all? Is he suddenly a reliable news source? I heard about him all over the TV and radio this morning (though nobody mentioned the two accomplices). He’s planned bombings, murders, random terrorists acts, etc… And he’s a reliable source of information on who’s guilty and who’s not?

Open the doors and leave some coolaid! End of problem.

This is part of Psychological warfare. He plays the boss, tells us things we dont want to hear, and the MSM selectively relays his message. All very well planned out on Bin Hidin’s part.

“What do you suppose the odds are that one or both of them were among the fifteen Saudis we [The US Gov't] released last week?”.
I can’t speak or comment freely on the above statement which I think is of greatest importance.
If I do so, I know I will get banned, for sure. Over at FR, Jim Robinson banned me for offering a hotheaded comment to a related subject – which he dubbed a troll comment.
Well, at least I can think it.

Build a gallows and begin the Courts Martial of captured FRANC TIREURS, those vicious ununiformed fanatics making war on the United States Armed Forces. Convict them and hang them for the discouragement of the others. The treasonous copperhead Democrats and the Ladrones of the United Nations are going to bring all of their malice to bear on the Administration of President Bush, no matter the danger he averts or the “legality” of his actions. He has the POWER; let him use it to protect America and provide a Civics Lesson for the Left Wing Trash that insolently presumes to ask America for her trust.

In visiting another blog there was a picture captured from Arab tv of Osama bin laden with a curious twist. Look closely at the name give given to UBL
