News? Hardly, but I like this guy's way of speaking out his mind. And at the end quotes - sorry for the repetition, Steve C. I think, somedays ago posted the same quote-John Swinton >Commentary >By Robert Spicer >Sydney, Australia >12-16-1 > >CNN - Bin Laden Possibly Heard Speaking Via Radio >December 16, 2001 >Posted: 5:31 AM EST > >(CNN) - The United States is "reasonably certain" that one of the >voices they have have been monitoring on battlefield radios in the >Tora Bora region of Afghanistan is the voice of Osama bin Laden, >U.S. officials tell CNN. > >Officials would not specify what kind of radio transmission U.S. >forces had detected or how they were sure it was bin Laden's voice. >But an official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was a >short-range transmission, indicating that bin Laden was in Tora Bora >in the past week, Reuters reports. > >Meanwhile, Eastern Alliance fighters, aided by U.S. airstrikes, >continue to fight al Qaeda members holed up in the caves and tunnels >of the rugged mountain region. U.S. planes and the reverberating >rumble of their bombs were a steady reminder that the war was not >over. > >On lower ground, CNN's Ben Wedeman said he had heard talk of a >possible surrender of some al Qaeda fighters, but had seen no >indication that such an event might be imminent. > >Wedeman, who has twice spoken with al Qaeda members by radio, was >unable to contact them on Saturday, but he reported that overheard >radio conversations indicated al Qaeda was low on ammunition. > >"They sound stressed, I'll tell you," Wedeman said. "They don't >sound like they're having a good time."

Sky-News TV, here in Australia, >reported precisely that a Taliban soldier was talking on short wave >radio, saying something about a Sheik (Sheik- means a leader). But, >Sheik could have been ANY leader world-wide, civil or military, and >any military organization will have many Sheiks of all ranks. > >There was no mention on our Australian TV news that anyone actually >heard the real voice of Bin Laden.CNN invented a totally different >story. CNN again pulled out their miracle words of: "possibly", "US >officials" and "reasonably certain" to justify corruption and >misleading/propaganda news. > >AND!!! CNN is back to its old tricks of 'interpretations.' Please >read carefully in the second paragraph: > >"....indicating that Bin Laden was..." - > >"Indicating" does NOT mean that anyone heard the actual voice of bin >Laden....BUT! CNN is hiding this fact from us. In this case, >"Indicating" is exactly what the Australian TV news quoted - that a >Taliban soldier somewhere was talking about a leader. His word >"leader" could have been his Sergeant, General, bin Laden or even >Bush, depending on the CONTEXT of the sentence, etc. > >CNN conveniently always adopts the interpretation that the Pentagon >wants them to adopt, in this case that the soldier must have been >referring to bin Laden. CNN clearly twisted the meaning of that >sentence to fit the Pentagon's version. We already have a Pentagon >spokesmen, why do we need CNN? > >CNN & "US officials" (rarely identified!) want us to believe (for >some unknown reason to me, who cares?) that the voice was really bin >Laden's voice. This may be a vain attempt to justify spending 55 >billion dollars of U.S. tax payers money wasted so far just to kill >a single "terrorist"/"freedom fighter" and thousands of innocent >Afghan civilians. http://www.ncpa.org/iss/bud/pd 103101b.html > >This money could have been better spent on rebuilding the WTC and >the balance should have been given to the Israelis, so that they >could find a 'final solution' for the Palestinians (bitter smile). >Bush has lost all credibility here in most of Australia. Actually, >instead of proving to the world that the U.S. Military is so >incompetent, the whole 'Taliban job' should have been given to the >Israeli Military, they would have finished the Talibans in one week >or less, and present bin Laden as a Christmas present to Dubya and >to all 'patriotic' Americans. The Israelis would love it, killing is >already a habit for them and they would do it probably for free. > >The sad fact is that Bin laden has already won, BIG TIME. He has >changed our civilization in a few weeks more than any other person >in our history. The whole world is watching how the mightiest >military in the world is afraid to confront him and resorts to >carpet bombing from 30,000ft, vaporizing desert rocks and much of >the American tax payers money. VERY SAD AMERICA, I will not be >surprised if bin Laden and his four wives are now sipping margaritas >next to the pool, on Bush's Texas ranch, just like in the 'old >days.' Remember how Bush, the Elder brought over thousands of Iraqi >Republican Guards and settled them in the Midwest after the 'Gulf >War'? > >Jeff, please do not misunderstand me, I want Bin Laden dealt with. >And if Bush (counting on you gullible Americans), is trying to frame >bin Laden (one of his former business partners) as responsible for >the 9-11 attacks in order to cover for the Israelis, I will not tell >anybody :-). > >I am enclosing the CNN 'news' item - I am lucky my browser kept it. >Guess what? Just when I finished writing you this email, I went back >to CNN and they already pulled COMPLETELY this 'report'/fraud >completely off their front page AND their archives !!! > >Thank You, >Robert Spicer >Sydney Australia > > >PS - Jeff, your website is the most informative website in the world >when it comes to REAL news.
