Bin Laden on Moussaoui

In an audio tape released on a website, a voice claiming to be Osama bin Laden claims Zacarias Moussaoui had nothing to do with the 9/ll attacks and, in fact, was not even aware they were to take place.

Moussaoui was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for failing to tell the FBI about the impending attacks when he was arrested two weeks before 9/ll.

"Had he known anything, however little, about the September 11th group," the voice says, "we would have told the brother Commander Mohammed Atta and his brothers to leave America immediately before their affair was exposed."

Actually Laden alone is nothing in front of FBI.But reality is defferent.Do you heard about PHANTOM?.Though real phantom was dead than his son again his grandson were appearing as phantom same thing is with laden.There are some countries behind him but they disclose the name of laden.Actually some muslim hardliner countries are behind him(behind camera).So america has to find out his friend countries and enemy countries.Are you able to understand this?

Do any of us really know enough about the particulars of the case to have a valid, well informed opinion? No.
Do we know whether or not Bin Laden is telling the truth or lying? No.
The "celebritizing" of this war makes me sick. Can we please please take the focus off of people me and you can do NOTHING about and start demanding that our politicians - ALL of them - put their heads together to come up with a real and lasting solution to this. Unless of course you think things are going just fine...

How many of you can honestly say that the voice is OBL? Who knows whether or not it is just a ploy for America to let Moussaoui out of prison only to be released into a society that he hates and has been victimized by. It could be another one of OBL's false videotapes. How many alleged tapes did we receive after the 9/11 attacks that clearly stated that there were going to be more attacks? Do not get me wrong, I lost loved ones in the attacks as well, but we just need to grow up and realize that this man's whole life now is about terrorizing America.
Now will someone please tell me why this war has been turned into primetime entertainment? It feels as though we need to have California Gov. Arnold there to fight the bad guys because that is what he does...
America, how have we fallen from being a power country to being afraid of a man we do not know if he is even still alive?
Just answer me that.

How many times have we actually received tapes from this man and his words have been false? America, OBL plays on our fears and then he laughs. How do we know if this tape is authentic? How do we know that OBL is still alive? He is playing on our worst fears, America, by saying that Moussaoui IS NOT to be blamed or charged. That in fact if he would have been part of the 9/11 attacks, Moussaoui would not have been in the country that late before the attacks.
Personally, please stop buying these lies, America. Does Moussaoui know where OBL is? Is that why OBL does not want Moussaoui to be in jail? All I ask is that before you jump to conclusions, have you listened to the tape yourself? And has it been authenticated?

Bin Laden is a coward hiding in his cave and sending stupid audio messages. If he is so brave, he should show his face and confront his pursuers instead of sending his puppets to do his dirty jobs for him. When he is finally, caught, Osama will burn in hell for all his attrocities

I thought that Bin Laden was denying any involvement in the attacks on September 11, 2001. Now he is saying that Moussaoui knew nothing about it. Was he telling the truth then or is he telling the truth now. I don't believe that the tapes are Bin Laden or have been Ben Laden. Our government is corrupt if you guys haven't figured that out yet. Because they say that it is Bin Laden then you believe it? I guess you guys will fall for anything. I don't know what to believe but I don't believe anything that comes out of this administration. They have been proven to be people who don't always tell the truth and who make no apologies for it.

The sad reality of it all is that Bin Laden is still there to remind Americans of its failed response to the attack on terrorism after the 9/11 tragedy. Moussaoui is the wrong terrorist despite his insane and well-groomed hate of everything American. Saddam and Iraq are the wrong targets. And while we are entrenched in a war, not on terrorism, but of political gain and forced ideals of democracy, Bin Laden is free to speak about the flawed fight on terrorism.

Of Course all us are merely speculating but political discourse is what keeps an intellectual democracy alive. The problem however is whether or not such discourse is in fact intellectual and not bantor.

In regards to this article, I find that in reviewing the information presented along with that of The Washington Post's juror comments it seems plausible that Ben Ladin is correct in his statements. Many of the jurors felt that he only played an insignificant part, therefore adding an heir of credibility to Ben Ladin's remarks.

Keep Mousoui in prison, america needs a scapegoat!!!

Posted by: Rick | May 24, 2006 4:55:01 PM

There was no evidence on Moussaoui, and the FBI arrested him because his flying instructer said he "looked" suspicious. but that was weeks before 9/11 attacks.

The U.S. government can't keep someone in prison for life because he looked suspicious.
Every foreigner should boycott the USA for being so arrogant.!!!
Large Majority of americans believe the US military should blow up all the middle east why? because YOU have the image in your head that everyone from the middle easy has an AK-47 and is a terrorist.

P.S. Most of you don't know where Iraq IS.

Just take a look at the original 'smoking gun' video where Osama supposedly confesses to 9/11.

http://911research.wtc7.net/disinfo/deceptions/binladinvideo.html

Anyone notice a problem here? The entire basis for two wars, the Patriot Act, massive increases in military spending, illegal NSA spying, etc. is this video evidence that Islamic fundamentalists 'hate our freedoms' and engineered 9/11. And besides, how could our intel agencies actually not realize that this person is not Osama? Combine that with such fun tidbits as this:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,1361,584444,00.html

and this:

http://911review.com/articles/usamah/khilafah.html

Think about the ramifications of that for a minute.

I believe osama has been dead for some time - like since the bombings

It would seem that if the USA along with British intelligence agency can listen in to millions of conversations then why can’t they find this skinny little man with a beard? Damn it to hell, it should not take all that to find this guy. Blow up the mountains covering tunnels and maybe we would get lucky. A needle in a haystack doesn’t take this long to find. Maybe Bush has his reasons not to find him. Maybe just maybe Binny is out there leading the way to bigger and better fish to fry. That is all great but we as Americans need this guy caught and brought back here for closer to begin. Remember a little thing called 911? Remember Bin Laden laughing at us? Well I won’t laugh until the creep is snapped in two. Now that’s funny. Bush, crap or get off the pot, and the crack, and the coke, and the booze.
