I seem to recall a few people in the world STILL think that the Jews did 9/11, or the neocons, or Bush, or the CIA, or the Trilateral Commission, or the Illuminati...

But...

CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Jazeera broadcast Thursday what it called a previously unshown video in which al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden is seen meeting with some of the Sept. 11 hijackers. The station did not say how it obtained the video, which was produced by As-Sahab, al-Qaida's media branch.

The video showed bin Laden sitting with his former lieutenant Mohammed Atef and Ramzi Binalshibh, another suspected planner of the Sept. 11, 2001, suicide hijackings.

Atef, also known as Abu Hafs al-Masri, was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan in 2001. Binalshibh was captured four years ago in Pakistan and is in U.S. custody, and this week President Bush announced plans to put him on military trial.

In the video, bin Laden was wearing a dark robe and white headgear walking in a mountainous area. He smiled as he greeted several men, which the tape said were Sept. 11 hijackers.

Sounds like another nail in Binalshibh's coffin...

I want to see this video & I wanna know where they found it. The last Osama confession tape was such a blatant fake it was unbeleiveable that they tried to pass it off as real.

And what the odds that morons will keep putting this Loose Change shit up on the internet.

Or even worse, there's morons post "911truth.org" signs on telephone poles around Columbus. Enough to drive me batty.

Obviously, it didn't come from Bush or Cheney, or the Jews. So there goes the conspiracy theory there.

I don't beleive it conspiracy theories, Islamic terrorists probably did commit 9/11 so I don't see why they need to patronise us with fake videos.

The video is by al-Jazeera, not exactly a news organization "friendly" to the US. Explain how this is government orchestrated patronizing behavior.

Just playing devil's advocate here, since I don't buy the conspiracy theories eiher, but this tape wouldn't get Bush off the hook, because it doesn't preclude the possibility that Bush was using Bin Laden to pull off the attack. Just sayin'.

I'm not talking about this one but the one found by US troops just lying around in Afghanistan.

I haven't seen the one on the news article yet, it'll probably be on youtube soon though.

I think Bin Laden would have said so already, as critical as he's been of Bush.

Well, golly, I can think of two reasons off the top of my head.

1) The terrorists didn't put out the video, it was put out by one of those folks (someone on the Bush side for example) of conspiricy theory fame who need us to be more worried about terrorism with upcoming elections.

2) It WAS put out by Islamic terrorists who didn't think we would think it fake and thought we would be worried and do what they want. Why? Well, perhaps the actual footage never took place, but it is good PR for them if the world thinks it did.

OK, neither may be a GOOD reason, but both are reasons, never the less.

This is the better reason though for a faked video though

Well, as long as we're playing the devil's advocate game, that's exactly why he wouldn't. Look at it this way. Bin Laden gets the chance to kill a lot of corrupt infidel westerners or whatever the terminology is. However, to do so he has to help Bushboy out. He decides that the death of so many infidel western corruptors or whatever is more important, and agrees.

But he loses face by admitting that he was helping Bush out, especially after Bush landed on Afghanistan and Iraq.

If you buy into that sort of thing.
