10 Years of Translated Bin Laden Messages Leaked

DragonFire1024 lets us know that Wikileaks has obtained 10 years of messages and interviews by Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda. The documents were translated and the messages and interviews were authenticated by the US CIA. "The nearly three hundred page, 'official use only' packet from 2004, translated by the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, a division of the CIA, includes interviews with bin Laden from various news agencies and also includes messages he sent directly to the US from the periods of 1994 to 2004. One message includes bin Laden's denial of having anything to do with the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania."

    Damning my ass. Bin Laden initially denied involvement in the attacks, only to very publicly acknowledge his involvement later, on multiple occasions.

    I guess knee-jerk Bush bashing is more popular than I thought.

    Evidence has just been presented that Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11.. that's what this story is about.. and yet you persist in repeating the fiction we've been fed for the last 7 years - for which there has never been presented the slightest bit of evidence (except "trust us").

    I'm certainly claiming that everyone we've fought since the republican guard fell has been a civilian.

    Do you think Saddam gassed those people because he was bored and wanted to see something cool? He did it to prevent massive sectarian conflict like we've been trying to police since the government in Iraq fell. He was worried that Iran was funding terrorist groups, and needed to use force to prevent those groups from getting a foothold.

    Oh wait. He said exactly what WE said, and did exactly the same thing WE did. The bastard!

    He was trying to quell a riot, so it's OK to gas women and children?

    Are you honestly trying to compare that his targeting and using chemical weapons on civilians is the same thing the US and its allies did in Iraq?

    Really?

    Since the second World War, the US hasn't intentionally killed civilians.

    Bullshit. You fly planes over villiages and drop bombs, then you intend to kill civilians. There is no other logical outcome.

    And the same survey shows that 92% of made-up statistics without sources are made-up on the spot to support conclusions that are similarly made-up.

    Oh really, well guess what asshole, you should be careful about throwing around disinformational talking points. Bite this one bitch, from the Voice of America:

    Feel better? Oh wait! This just in, whoa... it says one hundred percent of the people sitting in your chair, are self-delusional asshats. You really made the grade, pal. What is it, a full Moon tonight? Seems to be a lot more mental midgets on the loose, somehow.
