Al-Jazeera executives said they decided to post the entire speech because rumors were circulating that the network omitted parts that "had direct threats toward specific states, which was totally untrue..."

Geez. When you listen to bin Laden.....he sounds just like a Democrat back home. No kidding. How many times have we heard these same kind of statements about oil.....big business interests....blah, blah, blah....from the Dems here? It's amazing. Actually, it's scary. Either they think alike......or bin Laden has a computer and is hooked up to the web and reads the "I Hate GWB" liberal websites. And we know he's seen MM's crockumentary based on what he said. Truly amazing. You know......if I were a Democrat, after hearing these words from Bin Laden and realizing I was on his side on some of these views, I'd be so embarrassed. We've been trying to tell you guys that you've done nothing but give our enemy hope and propaganda to use. Now....this tape from Bin Laden proves it.

Of course, JP5, there is a slight difference in that there aren't a lot of democrats killing thousands upon thousands of people for what they believe in. Only religious zealots and George Bush do that

Right. ESPECIALLY to translate an Al Qaeda videotape.

I don't think people were saying they left parts out, I think they were saying it wasn't translated correctly. I know of no one who claims thre were "direct threats toward specific states" do you?

Al Jazeera from the sanitized English version of the programming that they post on line (that's right, Libs, they clean up their Arabic programming so as to keep you thinking they're an unbiased source) made this claim, Lib.

And I tend to trust MEMRI more than Al Jazeera on this issue.
