if such a "tape' appears, how will we know who actually posted it? could be Al Qaeda, or a supporter of the endless war, or any other 3rd party that benefits from the war between the Christians and the Muslims.

In an age of outsourced warfare, and unprecedented war profiteering, any number of players would be motivated to exaggerate the threat.

Not to mention the zealots who are driven by ideology rather than profit.

And not forgetting disintel either. That old bin Laden "confession video" was a stitch. (Ever wonder why all those videos are so grainy, in this age of digital clarity?)
