Re: I do not believe bin Laden's prognosis would have been good. In other words, if did have renal disease which required dialysis, he would most probably be dead now. C'mon... LOL! Who CARES???!? Dead or alive, what has he got to do with 911 ANYWAY????? Remember: ol'Ray (Duray) wants us to stay ON TOPIC!!! if you really can't help discussing Bin Laden, there are other, more appropriate threads: Subject 7983

> He may still be alive or he may be dead. We just don't know. ... (Maybe of interest to the "non-purists" on the thread) rumormillnews.com >>The mainstream media has presented the latest video of what is said to be Osama bin Laden as if there were no doubt or suspicions about WHO it is in the video. The only agency that claims to have checked the tape is the CIA, who is an active combatant in the "war on terror." That's like asking a boxer in the ring to referee the match he is in. I asked the CIA about the latest video of some bearded guy who they say is Osama bin Laden: An "intelligence official" at the CIA named Anja told me that the agency had done a "technical assessment" of the tape. What this "assessment" included, Anja wouldn't say. Asked if the assessment included voice verification technology, Anja would only say that the CIA "declined to be more specific." The CIA has "a high degree of confidence" that it is OBL, and the President has "full confidence" in the CIA's assessment, according to a deputy spokesman working at the National Security Advisor's (Condoleezza Rice) office at the White House. If the CIA actually used voice verification technology on the tape to determine that it was Osama bin Laden then why don't they tell us? Don't we deserve to know that the authenticity of the tape has been checked before it is presented to the American people as fact? Why does the Associated Press (see Sun-Times article below), report that "The Bush administration said it believes the videotape is authentic..?" I mean, don't these people know about voice verification technology? Or didn't they use it because they KNOW the tape is a hoax, because they made it? And why has the media parroted these claims without even mentioning that there is a reasonable doubt that the image and voice in the tape belong to Osama bin Laden? <<
