so maybe you've heard. bin laden released a tape, and at least what
i heard of the translation sounded astonishingly reasonable (bet
there's a transcript on the web already). the media/press/tv are
saying it's "the first address to the US specifically", since the
attacks. but they seem to just be avoiding saying he has been making
addresses.
but i clearly remember just after 9/11, folks saying he was on tv
like once a week. folks on rhizome talking about watching him.
ironically, the only folks who couldn't see it were the US (because
the govt banned his broadcasts, didn't want us to see how fine and
healthy he was) and middle eastern countries who religiously forbid
tv. you guys are all over the world, can somebody verify this? it's
not like Friends, so doubt it would run season after season, but does
anyone remember seeing these?

Hi Judson,
I think you can see the taped interview at:
http://sympaticomsn.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1099080636534_94489836?hub=topstories#
but really, he isn't much more than a thug, a gangtsa with a different agenda.
Does he really care?
Bush is foolish, but this guy will steal your life if he can justify it.
Vote Kerry.
>Bush is foolish, but this guy will steal your life if he can justify it.
>Vote Kerry.
i think we are on the same side here, but what you answer wasn't
really my question. i wanted to verify folks have been
seeing/hearing bin laden for much longer than the reported 4 year
silence. thanks though for the link to the footage.
folks seem to be blocking out what they know, with how they react to
this stuff. why is this report so blatantly misleading? even the
kerry/bush debate seems like playing blackjack in a burning building.
do you ask for another card or run outside?
this isn't about preference or opinions or taking sides. the facts
are not hidden, folks just don't seem to mind them. there are people
who will try to make the election choices into a philosophical
debate. it becomes popular to fight about republican vs democrat or
right vs left, while dramatics overpowers evidence.
some degree of emotional bias and hype is actually fine. sometimes
you just judge on a smile. sometimes something just gives you a good
feeling. but letting either the factual or the emotional eclipse the
other is nuts. and being able to set them wide apart is crucial.
it's vogue or something for things like fear and arithmetic to become
indistinguishable.
which seems a lot like the heated discussion here a couple of weeks ago.
