I'm shocked by this!! What is this world coming to? Known mass murderers are trying to concel their location so they can't be found.

You'd think guys like Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahri would want the world to know where they were at all times, 24/7/365.

I've utterly lost all respct for Al Qaeda. How can you respect a terrorist organization that doctors its videos?
:-)

No, REALLY?!?

Well surprise, surprise! You mean Al Qaida is trying to throw us off the scent by doctoring their video releases? How DARE they?! They should include a time/date stamp on each, as well as a GoogleEarth map of the exact filming location. It's the least they could do, right?

Yeah, it's understandable/obvious that they'd doctor their videos...but thanks to Brian et al. nonetheless for 'officially' bringing it out for the public's eye...

Ummm hello, of course they have a fake background! Either that or Zawahiri has some pretty amazing abilities, such as magically projecting floating pictures around him.

'Al Qaeda' isn't making these videos. They are the product of a western intelligence agency. The gig is up.

Absolute nonsense. As the slide show of images accompanying this article shows, the "computer expert" who analyzed these images knows NOTHING about photography, or the interaction of light within an image. I happen to have been a motion picture and television cinematographer for over 25 years, have shot many millions of feet of film and many hundreds of hours of television, and can tell you that while ONE of his examples shows obvious composite layering of images (overlays etc) the rest of the examples are clearly shot within the environment portrayed in the background. This is so obvious as to be laughable that anyone thinks otherwise. These credulity-straining "theories" presented by this "expert" remind me of the people who say the moon landings were faked, and present photographs that "prove it". Like these Al Queda examples, the so-called moon landing photo discrepancies are also merely the mistaken observations and misinterpretations of AMATEURS...easily dismissed by those who know what they're doing (knowledgeable professionals who actually work with images).

Idiots... When are you muppets going to realise that Al Qaeda is government owned and organised. All to scare people into following the policy of the new world order. Shhhesssh most of the bin laden videos are fake anyway so who cares about whether the background is real or not...

Naw, say it isn't so. al Qaeda doctoring tapes and propaganda?

I think the monochrome backgrounds were a bit obvious in some of the tapes. You will also note most of the time, although there are bright lights visible in Zawahiris glasses, there is no shadowing behind him. These videos can be made anywhere as the backgrounds are added later.

John, I appreciate that you care so much for us to try to explain that there is no such thing as a global Islamist jihad going on. Thanks also for trying to explain that there is no such thing as AQ, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Fatah al-Islam, Islamic Jihad, Lashkar-e-Toiba, or Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya. (There's a lot more, but, hey, they're just figments of our imagination, right?)

I know, I know the nasty US government has made all this up, and it's actually okay to walk alone through southern Afghanistan or western Pakistan. That's where my next vacation is...

they can't have the true backgrounds or you would recognize the location of the shoot...the whitewash house basement...i hear the chef is having trouble creating their fav foods since bush is such a hot dog and fries goober...

Oceans no longer protect us!

Dictator Bush, SAVE US!

Irrelevent Congress, HELP US!

Fascist Press, INFORM US!

The fact that the Al Qaeda tapes are doctored isn't news. Our government owns and controls the organization.

Maybe ABC should look at the fake "bin laden confession tape". Now that will turn some heads. I wish more sheep would finally realize that our government created this "boogeyman" after perpetrating that self inflicted wound...aka 9/11.

so obvious. it was clearly doctored to scare the americans into supporting the wars in afghanistan and iraq.

It's not Al Queda doctoring them, its the US. They're regurgitating the same ol crap to keep you folk all scared. The Bin Laden Confession tape isn't even Bin Laden. US Government behind 9/11. Open your eyes.

My God, Americans really are stupid. What will it take?

Yeah al Queda has a Mac Book Pro, (and a AC outlet) so that they can do the final touch up to their videos before sending them out.

Here's a though the Taliban is policing the drugs trade for the CIA, (with or without their knowledge). The videos are a scare tactic to keep the sheep in check.

And it was the US that blew up the 3 towers in NYC using a profession controlled demolition team called Controlled Demolitions Inc.

You'd think "Al-CIA-Duh" studios in Langley would furnish a better product. Maybe they should contract out to Hollywood. bin Laden dead, 9/11 an inside job, and we won't be fooled again -- despite how much the MSM promotes "Al-CIA-Duh"

Ah!Yes!The phoney videos appeal to my sense of reasoning,The Prez..will soon be down under Australia.Will Jesus be seen in the Clouds off South America at the same time!? Being a cynic about this is easy for me,I am subject to their cynicism from the U.S.A. via a technology that is remote I am sure.People my own age not batting an eyelid about all this terrorist threat condemn us to these plays.It is sad to be a poor Australian babyboomer,accept for the use of this..which isnt exactly remote.Earnt your money today...USA spies!?

9/11 was an inside job. al-CIA-da is a drug cartel.

Absolutely, the BEST fake video to check out is the "Osama Confession Video."
...
The problem with the video is that the speaker doesn't look like Osama, doesn't have a voice that SOUNDS like Osama, doesn't compose his thoughts like Osama and doesn't actually confess to ANYTHING. According to experts in Arabic, the U.S. government took improper liberties in translating the comments the ACTOR ! made on tghe tape.

You people are not making the connections. If the video is doctored then it is obvious that we are allowing that to happen. For example, if a student faked a term paper and the professor knowingly allowed that... Well, it is not just the student who is guilty. The mere fact that pentagon affiliations have allowed this crap get absorbed into the media is evidece, alone, that it is done on purpose. You are being lied to by your own government who feeds you this spewage. Think for yourself. Don't let these disinformation fenatics sway your own opinion.

This story WAS ORIGINALLY about how the company who brings these videos to the Pentagon and the American people...was adding the As-Sahab logo at the same time as their own logo on these videos...which is curious in and of itself. I wonder why ABC chose to leave that part out of the story? No wait...I forgot. Mainstream media. My bad. ;)

Great Comments everybody I am surprised some of them have not disappeared down the 'rabbit hole' by now.

We should be on guard as the next 'un-constitutional UN/illegal war' is foisted upon us.

Check it for yourself -
The United States has decided to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country's 125,000-strong elite military branch, as a "specially designated global terrorist. - The Revolutionary Guard would be the first national military branch included on the list, U.S. officials said -- a highly unusual move because it is part of a government, rather than a typical non-state terrorist organization.

9/11 was an inside job, al-qaeda is nothing but a scare tactic to frighten the sheeple, simple.

But ok, if there are terrorists running around everywhere, and all the terrorists are muslim, as some seem to think (forgetting that the worst terrorists are in the white house) why haven't the attack on two muslim countries provoked any terrorism in the USA, from the millions of muslims living there??? Your security is better now you say?? Don't think so, cause recently some crazy kid shot and killed over 30 people over a 2 hour time period, so that can't be it.

You have been fooled, wake up.

I'm simply amazed at how these cave dwellers and evil ones produce these high quality videos from the caves of Afghanistan. You would think our the Airforce would bomb the power lines going to these caves.
Nevermind, they are actors on a stage whose strings are being pulled by western intel agencies to further the Hegelian Dialect to further the control of Western Asian resources.

9/11-inside job?

HA! What a joke! It's been known for a long time that many of the videos released by the 'terrorists' are nothing more than re-edited, re-hashed, re-released versions of the same footage. Not to mention the outright fake Bin Laden tapes released. This piece is nothing more than a weak attempt to put people off the trail of the real culprits behind all of these perfectly timed propaganda pieces. Do a google search on fake Bin Laden or fake Al Quaeda videos and you'll see exactly why this piece is running here and now.

Ahhh!
It's so refreshing to see more and more Americans waking up to the "Big Lie". It's about time!

Thanks ABC for helping the less informed finally begin to connect the dots. Are some Disney execs finally starting to get fed up with the fraudulent WOT too?

if you dig deeper and read other articles instead of relying on idiot tv to spoon feed you. the other logo was a third party CIA affiliate,but your to busy smartin' off, trying to look cool on the internet. you'll be the one ready to commit suicide when the market crashes and the dollar collapses, oh but that doesn't exist either. neither does the foreign troops when they come knockin' on your door.

this isn't about photography but image compression algorithms.

the software developed can tell what applications were used to doctor the pictures.

interestingly, it was found that the official logo of a private US intelligence firm was doctored into the videos with the same software as other portions of the video were doctored.

This article should be posted only if it confirmed that the videos are genuine.

I think, by default, terrorist will doctor their videos to hide their recording location.

Al-CIA-Duh strikes again. The last Bin Laden video was five year old footage that anyone who is not a government teat sucking slave moron can go back and find on their own. In fact not only are almost all of the Bin Laden vids re-edited footage from OLD Bin-Laden Videos, but Military Intelligence and the CIA have supposedly killed several of the so called Al-Quaeda leaders five or six times without the media asking a single question about how one man can be repeately killed. New-Speak to be sure, but you morons will ask no questions and bow to our Lords and Saviours Bush and Hillary like slave Dogs. 1984 indeed.

IT'S LIKE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, FOLKS!

Some believe it's real, others realize it's all show - like sports entertainment.

Wow, abcnews.com really scooped this one!! Terrorist's doctoring photo's for their own purposes, and the news media eating them up without checking, details at 11!! These people are sad!! This was old news months ago for anyone who gets out of the ABC/NBC/CBS cradle!!

The US is the real terrorist. Allah Akbar.

N2, yea yeah, God is great...we know...but the people of the ME have to start thinking about developing peace among themselves. Who is killing Iraqi's? The answer: Iraqi's. What happened this week in northern Iraq? Iraqi's slaughtering hundreds of Iraqi's...

In Gaza, Hamas' policies leave their own citizens starving (while the US offers aid to the Palistinian people).

And what about Darfur...who's doing the terrorizing there? Who's kidnapping and killing Philipino's on Mindanao (answer: not the US)

If you are referring to the American people as being terrorists, then you are way off, my friend (to a comical extent).

N2, I think you want to do right for the people of the world, but I think that you are just another suburban American teenager without much knowledge of the world or it's condition...when you are old enough to get a passport and venture out on your own, join an NGO and travel the world, providing tangible help to the human race...

When are these "9/11 conspiracy theorists" going to give up? For one thing, eyewitnesses saw the planes crash into the towers! For another, the collapse of the freeway ramp caused by the crash of a propane truck in Oakland a few months ago proves that an intense fire can heat steel to the point of softening and losing structural integrity, and that a petroleum fueled fire can be that intense. I could go on, but what's the point? They're going to believe what they want to believe no matter how many facts stand in their way. All they are proving is, to paraphrase an old cliche, "You can lead a fool to knowledge, but you can't make him THINK"!

Because a burning propane truck under a bridge could cause steel to weaken doesn't mean kerosene burning in a skyscraper designed to withstand several jet crashes at once will cause structural failure. Eyewitnesses saw the planes crash into the towers, but that proves nothing about who was piloting the planes and why they were crashed into the WTC, or why there are so many other glaring inconsistencies between the official story and the observed facts. But feel free to go on about it.

In the words of a famous prognosticator, I say "Wolf, Wolf!"

"an intense fire can heat steel to the point of softening and losing structural integrity, and that a petroleum fueled fire can be that intense."

Actually, no, burning kerosene (jet fuel) comes no where near the melting temperature of structural steel. C4 plastic explosive...different story.

Bob, he didn't say anything about the melting point, he just said "weaken."

I have been saying for the past 2 months that this is all based on compositing / green screen techniques. I think you will find that someone in Pakistan owns a copy of adobe after effects. Any trained video / animation expert can tell you the same thing. It is not a big discovery. I don't believe their production department is any bigger than a small home computer with good software and someone who knows how to use it. With today's technology, it is possible to look like the networks and do it from a laptop.

911 was an inside job.Remember the rocket bombs that hit London in Orwells 1984 ?OBL is Emmanuel Goldstein,Al CIA duh the fictional Brotherhood.

good god people, its called a green screen. i took a class in high school that used one, its not that difficult...

Why we need to undermined the government of our country by saying 9/11 was staged???
It happened and it was an act of terrorism against our nation and the people of America…..if you do not want to believe so why we wasted the life of 100’s of men and women in uniform in this remote country?
I was there I have seen it with my own eyes ….stop attacking while you seating on your couch drinking soda. We fight for our freedom while you are trying to believe your own imagination.
