[quote="Osama Bin Laden":88a19] .... The current leader does not allow me to exercise such operations.
—Osama bin Laden, September 17, 2001[/quote:88a19]
he would say that though, wouldn't he. I was under the impression he later admitted responsibilty,
you seem to believe his denial but dismiss his admission, on the basis you believe he's dead.
"The videotape shows clearly that bin Laden knew in advance of the attacks. He said: "We calculated in advance the number of casualties from the enemy who would be killed based on the position of the tower. We calculated that the floors that would be hit would be three or four floors. I was the most optimistic of them all. (...Inaudible...) Due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only. This is all that we had hoped for."

"Whether he committed the crime or not"?, isn't that what this whole thing is about, I mean, if he did, contrary to his above denial, it's obvious that it would be used to shape policy to suit America, I cant think of any country that would not do the same.
My question was more about not just bin laden but all his associates who were talking of a "big operation" like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the co-planner, and the attackers themselves, were they fictional or also working for the cia?
They seem to have long histories of anti western beliefs, yet these theories would lead me to believe they martyred themselves for America?
Help me out here.
