'poor quality' Bin Laden confession tape surfaces

bh | 09.12.2001 15:15

the 'bin laden' confession saga takes another inevitable turn as a so called confession tape surfaces once again ... this time it is not a transcipt of a nonexistent tape but rather a 'poor quality, grainy' confession tape...in the new digital age can we ever again believe what we see and hear?

In this article just posted on the main indy site, the author, apparently a Muslim, attempts to refute the contents of an article that appeared in the Washington Post describing another 'Bin Laden I did it' tape, this one a grainy poor quality thing, where Bin Laden supposedly describes how he just planned to blast the top floors off the building and was surprised when it collapsed and so on...The author claims tries to refute the tape by pointing out that it contains 'unislamic' statements...Personally I prefer to deal with such digital age evidence by including some links to the whole 'I confess' saga, as well as links to a prediction that a tape would surface sooner or later...Dangerous times we are living in, and with technology almost at the place where you don't even need actors in movies anymore, I have a feeling that lots of people will be 'confessing on tape' in the times ahead

Did I miss something? I was looking to watch this grimy dusty poor quality object, digitally transformed so tha Osama was saying things that he didn't, or saying things that he did but have been attributed a meaning that could be interpreted. But all I got was a Washington Post article at the end of the line. This is admission and proof?
