That's incorrect. A month after he claimed al Qa'ida was not responsible, he admitted in a video that they did do it:

Bin Laden: Yes, I did it


Who says he wasn't bragging only? To get his name into the history books next to Herostratos that is. Mossad did it, we all know that...

Ted,

How familiar are you with the Telegraph UK? You should be aware that MP George Galloway was charged by the Telegraph with outrageous profiteering during the Saddam Hussein regime. Galloway was opposed to the illegal attack on Iraq, and the Telegraph is very much a right wing partisan rag. Thus, the Telegraph "discovered" a series of documents when the Brits looted some ministerial offices in Baghdad and declared Galloway to be in cahoots with Hussein's regime. The court case has just settled, and Galloway has won about $1,500,000 from the Telegraph for deceit and defamation of character based on a fraudulent misrepresentation.

This is who you are relying on for your refutation of my assertion that most of the Bin Laden "testimony" corroborating the "official story" of 9/11 is fraudulent. Please note that in the article you provided, we do not get a raw transcript of the actual wording of Bin Laden, we get out-of-context snippets. Furthermore, even the Telegraph is not bold enough to say that Bin Laden made a public confession, since the materials the Telegraph accessed were for the private use of Bin Laden and his group. That must make the purported "confession" even more suspect. Further adding to the discredit of the Telegraph are two other whoppers on the page. The Telegraph deliberately overstates the number of casualties on 9/11, stating that there were over 4,500. When the final tally came in the number was only about 2/3 of that or about 2,800 victims. The Telegraph surely knew that it was engaged in puffery. Additionally, there is a link on the page to an article that purports that Bin Laden has a nuclear device. Nonsense. That's simple fear mongering. Recall that George Bush came out with an infamous guote in 2003 saying to the effect that 'Bin Laden doesn't matter much to us any more.'

Bin Laden as presented to the American and British public by the governments and the corrupt mainstream media is simply a propaganda device created to terrorize the weak-minded among us.

The real terrorists are in our own governments and editorial chairs.
