A videotape that was heralded as "new" footage of Osama bin Laden by many quarters of the press has been conclusively proven to be more than 5 year old re-released footage, leading to questions about why the government and the media continue to act as willing propagandists for the terrorists while striking fear into Americans by claiming

    I'm sorry, but they're going to have to try harder than simply recycling old Bin Laden footage to scare us again. They really need new tactics....

    And the media that just goes along with this propaganda are even more to blame. The media is supposed to inform us, not brainwash us...but clearly it's been the opposite for quite some time.

      That may be the case for you and me, but many, many people unfortunately buy into this fear-mongering stuff ... I'm afraid I have a lot less confidence in the intelligence of Americans (or maybe they are just gullible) than I used to.

      Bogey man gonna git you!!! Hide, if you can!!!

      I forget, but who was the Bogey man during the Clinton years. I know Bin Laden was hiding, and got home delivery of missles, but was there someone who we were all supposed to be scared about? Maybe Kim?

      How does Bushco spell relief?

      P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A.

      They've probably recycled the same footage that's been classified as a bin Laden fake.

        Exactly. Look at a picture from him in 2001 and one from 2007, his graying pattern on his bead is identical. He didn't age a single day. I guess cave living is the secret to longevity! Have you seen pictures of Bush from 2001-2007? Major difference.

        Yup...recycled fear.

        It does seem awfully convenient that this 'new' video is splashed all over the media right when Democratic Congress looks like it's going to gain some ground.

        It's probably wishful thinking to hope that people will get hip to the idea of propaganda for perpetuation of a war that lines the pockets of the proponents. And so many of the people that are pro-war are also getting ripped off and killed and can't admit it. Democratization has costs, they say.

        Hey democracy is great, but the ends do not justify the means in this case.

        The flawed argument of personal attack is coming for this comment.

          All of the supposed Bin Laden tapes are always released so conveniently. Bush practically won the 2004 election because a "new" tape that was released telling the American people to vote for Kerry and not Bush. Another tape was released days before the vote for the Patriot Act II. The list goes on and on and people never catch on!

          It was released this morning that an al qaeda big shot was caught in Iraq. 'Ironically' (wink wink) the morning after the Senate's all nighter on Iraq. Problem? This so called top guy was caught two weeks ago. They were 'saving' him apparently, lol.

            That wasn't the fictional guy that the brave and glorious troops of the Iraqi security forces claimed they killed 6 months ago was it?

            the government is manipulating the flow of information as one of its weapons against "THEM"

            Just depends if you are a "THEM" at the time if they will use it on you. This case its the US Senate that the video footage and the (newly?) captured prisoner are being used against.

            The War on Terror is being used as an excuse psychological warfare against the US population.

              Yep. There is no terror threat.

              The fact that these tapes get released to the Islamic media means nothing. It's the GOVERNMENT!

              Blah blah blah.

            The twoof movement apparently likes its news a few days old:

            Course that wouldn't really sit well with the need for paranoia that places like Prison Planet seem to feed off of.

              Somethings up. The rhetoric has been pushed up on al qaeda's link to Iraq. The rhetoric has been pushed up on Iran being the ONLY country involved in insurgent activity. Bush just signed another 'executive order' giving him power over congress in an emergency. Yeah, these CONS aren't going to let being in the toilet with Americans fly. They're going to do ANYTHING to keep their power. They have too much to lose.

              Something will happen, and the freaks will blame democrats. People will forget that bush allowed 9/11 to happen, and that bush dropped the ball with Afghanistan, and allowed bin laden to regroup, and they'll forget that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. They'll forget our infrastructure was NEVER secured. Very ominous times.

                Since Bin Laden is what all Muslims aspire to be. He had the courage to attack the US. He allowed the US the excuse to invade the Middle East that has led to hundreds of thousands killed and millions homeless. Praise the homewrecker.

                  Osama never claimed responsibility for 9-11. Only through (supposedly) confiscated unintelligible tapes did the CIA claim that he did. None of these tapes was ever verified to be authentic and prove the 9-11 connection. Besides, we all know that OBL is just hanging low at the Crawford ranch...

                    My only conclusions was from reading the Al Qaeda web sites. Al Qaeda seems to have no problem stating what you can't seem to accept: Osama bin Laden is their leader and Al Qaeda attacked on 911. al Qaeda's matter of fact references to his Letter to America which is his motive and the book Masterminds of Terror where his groupies bring out details only insiders, the perpetrators, would have known.

                      More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
