Whatta you wanta bet the tape was manufactured in al-Jazeera's studio? The al-Jazeera officials steadfastly refuse to reveal when nor how they received the audio ape from the man who killed 3,000 innocents in twenty minutes. This is allegedly out of their concern for the ethics of professional journalism. Fine. But better than that, their director boasts about the "supreme quality of the Arabic language used by Osama." As a linguistic expert, he claims that this "will have a high impact on the street." That's probably why the station aired the entire (edited) segment about twenty times that day. To give it additional "high impact," al-Jazeera assembled the regular panels of "experts" to analyze the tape's "hidden messages." That is, in case the Arabic laymen missed Osama's "real message," al-Jazeera would explain. And one must nervously mention that the "speech writers" of the tape and the "commentators" who "analyzed" it shortly afterwards use the same terminology and certainly came to the same conclusions: Jihad against Peace and Progress must continue.
