The citations in your last posted article are a link to Bin Ladens most wanted poster, and 3 news articles talking about the video in question. These things do not even support the point he wants to make.
Perhaps the FBI spokesman said those things, along with other information. It is pretty easy to take a few blurbs and make it appear to say what you want. Did you realize that the quote I posted was from the same source?

Here it is again.

"There's no mystery here," said FBI spokesman Rex Tomb. "They could add 9/11 on there, but they have not because they don't need to at this point. . . . There is a logic to it."

This works both ways. You'd need to find a non-bias way to string together the line of thought in said quotes to make any progress on this point.

However, I do find it interesting that he said "There is a logic to it." and then doesn't really expand on that much. That logic could be pretty much anything.

that is true. the . . . means that there is more to the quote that isn't included. i did make sure to say that i quoted an opinion piece.

This article refers to a response to boo boo and not the video or articles by Stephen Pelletiere. Also related to the "no hard evidence against Bin Laden" claim is the authenticity of the "confession video" of Bin Laden dated December 13, 2001. Not to say that I'm looking for the "conspiracy theory" angle to the whole 911 story. I'm just trying to find answers.
Government refuses to authenticate bin Laden "confession video"

haha army people. Your first post is about stuff that happened before the first war we had there. Should we have handled it differently? We are not leaving until iraq is completely liberated?? WE are not completely liberated. Reading your arguments I wonder if you would support war with North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, China? where do u draw the line? If I was in the army and didn't support the war I would feel really weird....that would be tough. stay safe

How did Bill Hicks put it?

In favor of the war, against the troops.

I just can't stand all those young people.
