Here are the videos: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/05/07/world/asia/20110507-binladen-videos.html?ref=asia http://tinyurl.com/3h2nlbd The one with him watching TV is on the top left; it's called "Watching TV," duh. He isn't "watching Obama" per se; he's watching different stuff, channel-surfing, or clip-surfing maybe, and in a couple of cases there's a *very* brief glimpse of Obama that he zips right past. The first one is an inset still head shot, the second shows Obama walking (don't know where I got the idea it showed him making a speech). If I wanted to fake a video to show Osama hadn't died years ago and was still alive and kicking after Obama became newsworthy, and had all the resources of the federal government to do it, I *hope* I'd make one that would feature a shot of Obama that you wouldn't miss if you blinked, preferably one of identifiably recent vintage (these shots could have come from as far back as the primary campaign or even from when he gave the keynote speech at the Democratic Convention in 2006). It's really not that easy to convincingly fake a crappy home video, especially a crappy home video of somebody watching a crappy television. This looks like an authentic crappy home video to me, not "pixel magic."
