How can "Intelligence Officials" be so sure OBL's tapes are authentic

[linazelle]

and the media echo this tripe, when the same media echoes the bullshit line that DoucheCo was misled by "Intelligence Officials"?

Is ANYBODY (outside of DU) putting 2 + 2 together? :banghead:

[mrcheerful]

1. Because GW talks to god and god tells him they are real, what you think

god would lie to GW?

[evlbstrd]

2. Because they made the tapes.

[linazelle]

3. Ahhhh. Gotcha. Over and out. n/t

[3waygeek]

7. More specifically this guy

[Pastiche423]

8. And they made the tapes

because Osama has been dead since December 2001.

4. If they really thought the tapes were authentic, why don't

they let outside investigators,like maybe the Middle Eastern Studies department of a prestigious university, examine the tapes for a second opinion?

5. Because they might notice that a 7 foot tall, relatively old man...

with kidney failure looks younger, shorter and heavier on some of the more recent tapes.

6. Just whip out an Osama tape when things get testy

on the Hill. Saw an old 007 movie yesterday and damned if they weren't using the same devices for voice distortion or change a voice to sound like someone else even back then. Well, maybe not?? It is doable now.
