I guess this means our government doesn’t know anything after all and that you can’t believe anything they say. It might be good news in a way since it might make it harder to put the so-called ‘War on Terror’ on the back burner to muscle in on Iraq and rain death on some poor Iraqis. Although, maybe Big Brother has something else in store with this piece of timely information (disinformation?).
From the Guardian Observer:
Osama bin Laden is alive and regularly meeting Mullah Omar, the fugitive leader of the Taliban, according to a telephone call intercepted by American spy satellites.
In the conversation, recorded less than a month ago, Omar and a senior aide were discussing the American-led hunt to track them down. The two men, using a mobile Thuraya satellite phone, spoke about tactics for several minutes. Omar then turned to a third person who was within a few yards of him, voice analysis has revealed. After exchanging a few words, Omar said that ‘the sheikh sends his salaams [greetings]’. Senior Taliban figures habitually refer to bin Laden as ‘the sheikh’.
Voice analysis appears to corroborate the identification of bin Laden. ‘It shows he was alive recently at least,’ said a senior Afghan intelligence officer. ‘Some people might like to think he is dead, but that’s just wishful thinking.’
