New vs. Old Media

Posted by David Hardy · 15 July 2007 05:07 PM

The latest bin Laden videotape:

The Australian proclaims "CAIRO: Al-Qa'ida leader Osama bin Laden has praised martyrdom as a weapon and a path to glory for Muslims in a new video posted on a website yesterday."

CBS says much the same.

The new media: Michelle Malkin's HotAir runs it to ground, shows that the hills in the background exactly match those in a taped interview of bin Laden that was released in 2002 and probably dates to 2001 -- five or six years ago. As she notes, this is a further indication that bin Laden is dead. Why use ancient footage, unless he's not around to be filmed?

If he is dead, I sure hope it was in an American airstrike on some damned cave. I sure hope he didn't die peacefully in a bed somewhere of a kidney ailment.

I've been of the opinion that he's been a stain on the wall of some cave for quite some time now. One would think if he were legitimately still alive, he'd be producing videos left and right, even at great risk.

Personally, I agree with Sebastian. He's a goner.

But there is always the chance he wants to convince us he is dead, and has therefore chosen not to make any tapes that would prove otherwise.
