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.'

I saw the actual video.....bin Laden and his cohorts were sitting around eating dinner, talking about the event, and how he pulled it off. Now its possible the Muslim doing the translation was lying but don't you think that would have been exposed by now? As for the death toll, it was higher at first and then reduced over time as more people came forward. Remember this article came out in early November......not even two months after the 9/11 event.

It seems to me your issue isn't with the press but whether the tape is legitimate or not.
