CNN just began showing portions of the video yesterday; the interview was recorded in October, and it's one of the prime sources British Prime Minister Tony Blair relied upon when he went before the public last November claiming to have seen "irrefutable evidence" (or something to that effect; I'm paraphrasing) of bin Laden's and al Qaeda's guilt in the attacks of 9/11.
On CNN last night, Wolf Blitzer explained that the journalist conducting the interview on the tape asked bin Laden if he and/or his organization had been responsible for the "terrorist attacks" of 9/11, to which bin Laden gave the following response (paragraph #11 in the linked article): <b>"If inciting people to do that is terrorism, and if killing those who kill our sons is terrorism, then let history be witness that we are terrorists." </b>comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.14363-216773Fri, 01 Feb 2002 07:55:57 -0800verdezzaBy: verdezza

I know, I know: <b>Double post</b>.
Move along, nothing to see here...
...except for the direct link between the journalist's question and bin Laden's extremely culpable response, which the article linked to yesterday, but wasn't called out in the pursuant discussion...
...and the mention of Tony Blair's reliance on the tape as part of his certainty of bin Laden's guilt, stated last November (and also not mentioned in the thread begun yesterday).comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.14363-216783Fri, 01 Feb 2002 08:05:12 -0800verdezzaBy: dhartung

Airing this video would have embarrassed all their distinguished commentators in flowing robes sitting in Crossfire and Larry King simulacra studios pontificating on the Disneyesque means by which America cooked up the <i>other</i> video.comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.14363-216856Fri, 01 Feb 2002 10:06:22 -0800dhartung
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
