Incase you still believe what you see in the media...

The latest round of terror reports about the "new" Bin Laden video have been shown to be merely re-released footage recorded in Oct 2001 that was rebroadcast at least two times before (in 2002 & 2003).
"Even a senior Bush administration official admitted to Newsbuster, "Intelligence agencies have determined the video was previously aired as a portion of a longer show first on MBC TV (Middle East broadcast station) on April 17, 2002," and yet retractions to the supposition that the footage was new are nowhere to be seen in the media."

"Though some reports included the proviso that the tape could contain old footage, the importance and ceremony attached to the re-release of the Bin Laden tape over the weekend left the distinct impression that the footage was new and that it correlated with the alleged increase of "chatter" amongst terrorist organizations indicating that a new attack is imminent, a message that was again pushed by the U.S. government following the release of the National Intelligence Estimate yesterday."(See complete article)

What a bald-faced attempt to manipulate public fears just when support for the "War on Terror" is at it's lowest. They must really think people are dumb to accept this garbage at face value.
