I don't doubt for a millisecond that ObL masterminded the 911 disaster and that he's an evil bastard. However I find it unbelievable that he would be so stupid as to allow this video to be made. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Adolf Hitler was very careful never to produce a written order connecting him directly with the holocaust (I have no doubt that Hitler ordered the Holocaust and closely supervised its progress). Hitler understood the importance of the "plausibility of denial" for his historical legacy. Of course. ObL is not in the same league as Hitler but even ObL should understand the importance of not handing his enemies a propaganda bonanza like this video. Either ObL is a blithering idiot or this tape is a sophisticated piece of "black propaganda".
