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."
His also an ex CIA agent (using that term a bit liberally).

So you're actually blaming Bush for suspecting that someone who executed something like the halabja campaign might actually ... have lied.
Are you totally insane ? Are you truly someone who would truly be surprised if a massacrer lies ? Any massacrer has pretty much proved he's not to be trusted.
Btw, the actual "rumour" is that he sold them (and the "recipe") to Syria after the invasion started. May God prevent them from getting fired at Beirut.
You are being disingenuous. Everybody knows that the WMDs Bush and his cronies were talking about were the ones they said could be launched within 15 minutes and could reach the USA and result in a mushroom cloud over an American city. That is, they tried to convince people that Saddam had nuclear and could start destroying American cities at a moment's notice. And apparently people fell for it.
They were not talking about launching chemical weapons a short distance. Apologists like you who try to change history after the fact and imply that Bush and his lying cronies were talking about near-distance chemical WMDs are as bad as the liars in power.
Next you'll be saying that nobody in the Bush administration ever implied in any way that Iraq was linked to 9/11 and that our going in to Iraq was in part a result of their having been involved in Iraq.
A bunch of anti-Bush posts written by fucking idiots sitting in the dark, at home, in their underwear, listening to Alex Jones and watching porn.
You are all no different than the moron at DU http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=125&topic_id=56836&mesg_id=56836
Or maybe you are the same morons.
What fucking happened to you people? Lack of oxygen in the womb?
No US "staff sergeant" would suggest moral equivalence between the US and bin laden. I'm calling bullshit, and I'm calling you a liar.
What absolute bullshit. Nobody who has served over there thinks we have treated "Iraqis" poorly. We liberated the country from a sociopathic dictator, turned it into a democracy, and didn't even ask them to pay for it with oil revenue. Oh, and we killed a bunch of al Qaeda invaders in the process.
I am utterly astounded that the people on Slashdot are willing to give bin Laden the benefit of the doubt, but presume Bush guilty. You people are absolutely nuts, and when a US city has a mushroom cloud over it, good luck modding people like me "troll," since your computer will be dripping off of your melted face.
So, the CIA, who have operated outside the law since inception, have claimed that they didn't train OBL? What a fucking surprise!
Let me ask you a philosophical question. If an organization is charged with defending a country, and that organization has unlimited funding, no oversight, is inherently paranoid, and more subtly, is aware that it will only have these powers if the American people believe that they are always in danger, do you think that same organization would ensure the success in intercepted terrorist plans which have "acceptable" outcomes in order to have the resources to stop possibly "unacceptable" outcomes?
The CIA and British intelligence decided on their own, and with fewer than 100 people succeeded in, overthrowing a democratically elected government in 1953. And stated specifically it was so we could control their nationalized oil industry. God only knows what they are doing today.
The problem seems to be that in this particular case, the mass-killer *didn't* lie. But Bush didn't get his information directly from Saddam, did he ? He can't just make a phonecall or something. Instead, he had to rely on the CIA, who also doesn't ask Saddam directly, but instead (as it seems to be now) is pushed by Cheney's office to produce damning evidence.
Actually, WMD's WERE FOUND IN IRAQ! Just not in large enough numbers for our media to deem newsworthy.
But, hey! Don't let the facts get in the way of preconceived notions and talking points.
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
First, your a bunch of fucking whinning, lieing and soft handed assholes who hide behind your keyboards
Second, BIN SUCKIN, is adept at making videos where he does take credit for 9/11 and praises the operation and the "martyrs", maybe if you all were not busy sucking ech other pimple dicks you would have noticed
Third FUCK YOU ALL and may the next attack hit you all square in the eyes
FOURTH AL FUCKIN QAEDA IS A SHADOW OF ITS FORMER SELF THANK YOU BUSH ADMIN AND NO THANKS TO YOU FUCKING WEASELS, GET READY FOR ANOTHER 8 YEARS DICKWADS
To be fair, anyone who knows cold war history knows that the US lost credibility a long time ago.
I am going to shoot your wife. After a while the police will come, and will find an empty gun in my hands, and 7 "inert" shells on the floor.
At the trial I am going to argue that I did not have a weapon. I did not have a weapon, after all, just "inert capsules".
And since you believe me, you will agree there is no evidence whatsoever linking me and the crime.
Clearly you will agree with me at the trial that There was no weapon found in his hands. Period, and will convince the jury of this.
Correct ? Or do you see a problem here ?
You dumbshits still dont get it do you?
Whatever, no matter, your doomed anyway as you delude yourself due to you inability to not understand complex global political dynamics but maybe if I 'splain it to you dumbasses slowly you can see yourselves for what you really are, idiots on a scale never before seen.
a) this alleged release of deciphered communications was not some republican plot to aid
mccain and how would it since the theme is "binlickin says he's not guilty" meaning Bush
was wrong on this too
HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HELP MCCAIN YOU FUCKING DOPES HMM?
B) just because this is presented as "information" what the fuck does that mean, especially
if its of a political nature and posted on slashdot, your moderation and the majority of
you Slashdopes are worthless leftist idiots
c) Iraq and Afghanistan have everything to do with the proper post 9/11 coruse of action in
that Afghanistan was the base of operations for UBL and the Taliban and now serves as the
worlds most primitve backwater where monkeys in japanese suv's have weapons and are
trying to obtain the ultimate weapon, eradication is the only logical action and it
ongoing
Afghanistan is what happens when you take a Neanderthal and hand him a case of grenades,
he cant build a 2 story building and wants to lash out at the world for his own self
perpetuated misery
Iraq was brilliant and had to be sold to you idiots in some way in order to get us in the
door where now having lured Al Qaeda in, have systematically dismantled their CNC and
foot soldiers and its ongoing and will continue for many years
In addition Iraq is also a strategic geograpic foothold in that region of the world where
these monkeys rule and has also served to put other monkey leaders in these arab
countries on notice and the message is simple
WE WILL ACT UNILATERALLY AND WILL HUNT YOU AND YOURS DOWN NO MATTER WHERE YOU MAY BE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE PEACE AND IN FACT WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU AND YOURS ARE TERMINATED FROM THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET, SIMPLY ERADICATED WITHOUT PREJUDICE
But you Slashtards are just incapable of understanding any of this, your too busy suspending belief in your sacred media and your leftist political ideological retardation which is in sharp contrast to reality.
For the international Slashdope contingent, FUCK YOU, we are the United States and we dont take any cues from you
FUCK OFF AND DIE
