Re: Tapes
Now, if bin Laden is truly our culprit, then why do we need fake tapes appearing to implicate him?
One possibility, aside from 'he didn't do it', is that he did it, but our failure to get him has created a "political problem". I put quotes there to avoid shrieks of outrage--I mean that broadly, including the benign sense of keeping up public morale...and, also the not-so-benign sense of keeping up Bush's poll numbers. I wish I were a fly on the wall of the Oval Office to know what's what, but I'm not, so I try to avoid getting too far out ahead of my headlights.
